“Their gaze darkened or softened” - is this even possible like I've never been able to imagine this in a way that isn't absurdly supernatural

[@Nefferduat]

​@@panicfvx i always picture it having more to do more with everything around the eyes than just the eyeballs. But a gaze softening would be eyes brows raising slightly, the eye lids being not half lidded but more relaxed, tension dissipating under the eyes and in the cheeks as they released a long breath or unclench their jaw, maybe the pupils expand slightly. A gaze hardening would obvious be the reverse, more furrowed brows, a lot of tension around the eyes, a sharper intake of breath and the pupils contracting. I think its one of those phrases that is meant to summon the image of a bunch of little micro-gestures but no one is considering what they are when they write so don't include any further description rendering the line meaningless.

thank you for being transparent about your mental health. needed that reminder that bad times pass and reading can be self-care (which is why its so difficult to do when we are in a low period not wanting to take care of ourselves) you are not alone!

[@GaryMcSnail]

"It's hard for me to wake up every day and choose to see humanity." That alone, I think, just answered this angry state I've been in for the past month, at least. I've been very black and white about people lately and largely bitter about people in general based off what you said about pouring out kindness into others who have shown to be undeserving/not appreciative. And with my seasonal depression coming with summer, it's been getting harder. I will be replaying this part of the video several times because you flawlessly managed to put such puzzling feelings into words. And with that, I can hopefully start to feel less like this ❤❤❤❤❤

Unclear if my reply got yeeted into the cyberspace void since an ad started playing while I was typing, but the gist was, having been there a few times now, it does get easier to hold onto the good things. Loving yourself & the world takes practice and you can overstrain yourself the same way you'd pull a muscle. But the human body and soul are so resilient. And I'm glad you are both here, and so am I.

"she let out the breath she didn't know she was holding" may be a cliche as a phrase, but the feeling itself is so relatable! i constantly forget to breathe for many seconds when i'm very focused on something, and then i make a deep inhale and let out a long exhale that apparently sounds like a heavy sigh because it has become a meme for my friend (i usually don't notice it, but he asks "why are you sighing?" "i'm not?" "ah, you forgot to breathe again.")

I love that you showed your vulnerability of a reading slump, because I don’t think it’s talked about enough. We all love reading, but sometimes you just can’t find the spark, and it feels so frustrating! I always tell my friends “last year, my reading streak and the books I read = fire. This year, it’s a total dumpster fire” and that’s ok!! Sometimes I feel like reading can become this obsessive competition & kind of takes the fun out of it, which is the whole purpose OF reading - enjoyment! So I’m glad you found a book you liked 😊 and thank you for your videos and the unfiltered opinions you’ve shared ❤ looking forward to more in the future! Go you!!

[@SwitchbackCh]

I appreciate your candidness with your struggles, 'cause behind all the immaculate lighting, cozy vibes, filled bookshelves and ✨aesthetic✨, it can be easy to sort creators we like and their lifestyles onto a pedestal we think we can't achieve, or that they're way happier than us and "made it", when that's hardly the case most times.

I really appreciate how you talk about your mindscape and how it affects both you and how you make these videos.

(also your videos and how you share your experiences with the books you read have been a delight since I discovered you a bit ago, you're really expressive in exactly the way I feel internally when I read books like this as well!)

[@supernaturalaesthetic6295]

that chronic mental and physical fatigue is so true! I struggle with BPD and ADHD and I haven't been able to read in about a year, whereas I'd read 100s of books just last year.

Thank you for being a reader who talks about the life slumps that get you out of reading - not that you lost the luster for books, but life is just so in the way that your stress level cannot allow you to calm down enough to read a book. The amount of times I pick up a new book after not finishing the last one is astonishing, but I tell myself one day I'll get back to them and hope to find one that grips me from the beginning and reminds me that life doesn't have to be all about what we've accomplished, but instead what we've learned and felt and experienced.

Just casually binging your videos 😅 the quotes you shared from Notes on an Execution just HIT & I’ve added it to my TBR. It’s such an interesting concept & I can’t wait to read. Your channel is so fun & I love hearing alllll your unhinged takes on books 🎉😂
