I vote for you getting a cat-if you are up for the commitment. I had dogs all my life, but I got a cat when my dog passed 4 years ago. I have two now and I am amazed that I became a cat person so quickly. 💜

[@Emma-bz3we]

I think you’re really mentally strong for being able to talk about your anxiety and mental health so easily. I respect that. As for the cat thing, I think you’re just hyper aware of it. Try thinking, “ i’ve been seeing a lot of boba lately.” And see what happens

I love the cat in the bookstore. The universe is trying to tell you something, that you should get a cat. When you say just a few books but then, oh, you can come you've jumped in my basket, oh, this ones cheap! And you I've been looking for you forever. I like to say I have good self control.

C.S. Lewis is my favorite writer. That Hideous Strength is the final of his Space Trilogy (Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra being the first two). It is not my go to Lewis book, but certainly worth the read.

If anyone is looking to adopt a cat (or dog) but is uncertain, might I suggest volunteering for or fostering with a local animal shelter? It's a sort of trial run to see if you're compatible with the feline community. Whether or not you decide to adopt, you will help relieve an overworked system. I won't lie, fostering can be heartbreaking and it's not for everybody, but there are different levels of commitment; you can just help feed kittens, or help walk dogs, or take a healthy animal home for a brief period for, say, socialization, pre-spay/neutering care, or mild injuries. Just something to consider as an option... :)

If anyone likes books about major secrets and crime, you should read Pretending To Be Erica (it’s my current read). It’s about this girl Violet who pretends to be Erica (a rich girl who was kidnapped when she was around four) to steal a painting worth millions. That’s what I know so far. It’s kinda dark too

6:53 C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy!!! Of course, I've read it. How could I not read the series that was created because Token dared Lewis to write something themed around space? Also, it is really good, (not as good as Narnia) but I'd still recommend it especially if you love weird but epic sceneries/creatures and obscure biblical references in your stories.

Totally relate when it comes to cats. Been a dog person all my life and all of a sudden I want a cat.

[@readitheartily]

"That Hideous Strength" is the 3rd book of C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy. It's 1970's Christian sci-fi. Less lions than Narnia but more linguistics like Tolkien. 😁 If that sounds interesting to you; the first book is "Out of the Silent Planet", the second book is "Perelandra" and then lastly is "That Hideous Strength".

[@SpindlesEnd2]

I pushed through "That Hideous Strength". It's the last of his SciFi trilogy. "Out of the Silent Planet" is the first (and my favorite) and the protagonist gets kidnapped to Mars. I am still stalled in the first third of "Traitor's Kingdom". Sigh...

Your book shopping trip is so refreshing to me. I love that you don't just talk the entire time inside of the buildings, but waited until you were home. I also feel so calm inside of bookstores. I think it has to do with a toxic parental upbringing, as I always found solace and escapism with books. Throw in the stability found in bookcases, and I feel grounded and safe. Too much? Well, needless to say, I struggle this time of the year too. The adjustment of daylight does me in. So know that you are absolutely not alone! I'd go to a bookstore right now if I could, for the same reasons too! Your video may be a few weeks old, but it's exactly what I needed. So thank you!

If there's one thing the past 18 months has taught me it's the importance of priotising mental health and self-care. Even more so now, with life going back to somewhat-normal, or a new normalcy of the world, it's so important. Recognising ways to do self-care is so valuable to know what works for you! Books and book-shopping are definitely two that go hand-hand 📚
