I never recommend A Little Life to anyone. But it isn't tragedy porn to me. I related to Jude a lot and also have a close friend to whom horrific things were constantly happening. So I thought the exploration of whether it is possible for some people to ever heal and find happiness was a good one. And it raises the question of whether it is fair to ask someone to live when they are suffering that badly.
I understand that most people don't face that kind of darkness though, so that is why I never recommend it to anyone. But I wanted to share why I didn't think the book was all for nothing.
I appreciate you reaching out and i'm so incredibly sorry that you and your friend have experienced even a tiny fraction of what Jude went through.
I'm glad to hear this book offered a window into dealing with trauma and exploring whether anyone can heal from that and that it was something in any way helpful to you.
I didn't mean to invalidate anyone's experiences in any way, I just felt that to choose to continue to inflict pain and suffering on a character over and over again felt like too much, and as a reader, it felt downright voyeuristic at times and it made me sick to my stomach.
But if any good can be found by anyone after reading it, then you're right, it was not for nothing. 馃 any book is a very personal experience and we all find different things, whether good or bad, in the books that we read.

Would you share your routines as far as fitness goes? Like food, exercise, etc.
Of course 鈽猴笍
I used to be a lot more rigurous back when I was actively trying to lose weight, and I mostly followed work-outs from Sydney Cummings (you can find her channel on youtube, she has thousands of videos, and she's amazing). I focused on cardio first, then slowly incorporated weight training as well (all from home, I used 2 sets of weights, of 3 and 6kg, and it was enough for me).
Nowadays, when I'm focused on maintaining my weight, I mostly do standing workouts - cardio, hiit and weights - (i have a wrist injury that prevents me from doing floor exercises that require bending my wrist), and I use workouts from Olivia Lawson and Eleni Fit, both youtube. They're super fun, and I can usually watch a show while I do them.
I mostly workout 3 to 4 times a week, generally focus on 30 min workouts, although i do try for 40-60 mins ones as well, when i feel more rested, and i try to get in 10.000 steps on my other days. I do try to take a day a week for full recovery.
I'm not following any sort of diet. I vaguely know my required caloric intake and i try to hover around that number, but i don't stress about what i'm eating and i never deny myself anything.
Let me know if there's anything else you'd like to know 鈽猴笍

What would make you happy with yourself?
With myself? I don't think there's anything, i haven't really liked myself in a long time. What would make me happy? To just be at peace and to live a simple life. Away from cities and the rush of everything and the struggles of living in a society.
