Reasons to Stay Alive by Matt Haig
inspiring
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
i personally think this book is better than the midnight library.
this has made me feel things more than the midnight library did. i know the book talks about depression + anxiety (in which matt haig has described them accurately + beautifully, without romanticising the struggles of having them), ironically the book itself didn't feel depressing to read. His words (& existence) are living proof that there's light at the end of the tunnel, that it really is worthy to stay alive + truly live.
