Wild: A Journey from Lost to Found by Cheryl Strayed

adventurous challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

It says in my ‘read’ history that I’ve read this book three times now (including this last one, in 2023). To be honest, I remember reading it twice (don’t know what happened there - a glitch in the matrix? My memory is not the greatest in the last few years). That said, I don’t know how I could forget it, because I love this book so much, it seems impossible to me I’d forget the experience of reading it. Anyways, every time I read it I get emotional, immersed, inspired by Cheryl and her experience(s) and I just want to put a backpack on and go (and I’d have the same problem with packing, I bet 😅). I haven’t yet - not to that extent (3 months in the wilderness), though I’ve traveled both solo and accompanied, sometimes with a backpack, other times with a carry on, and I always learn something about myself/the place/someone else/… I’ve watched the movie, too, but I don’t like how it takes some of the decisions she made (in the book and her life) away from her and distorted them as suggestions and decisions made for her (I’ve only noticed it this time around). It’s very probable I’ll read it again in the future, to inspire myself to make changes and be bold and adventurous. ‘Till next time. ✨
