💬 "Because in any case, you’ll be the first one I forget…"
📚 "All the Blue in the Sky" by Mélissa Da Costa.
If I had to briefly describe what I think about this book for those who know me a little, I’d say it’s exactly like a French film: real, honest, without any idealization or romanticizing, filled with this soft kind of sadness and a desire not to miss a single moment of life 🙌
👉By the way, there’s also a film adaptation - and it’s now at the top of my must-watch list.
This book is about what’s real- not the overhyped idea of “being in the moment,” but the genuine one.
It’s about choices, about the path, and about the people who appear exactly when you think it’s already too late…
🫶After it, you want to learn even more how to slow down.
🫶After it, you want to look at the sky more often (and more mindfully).
🫶After it, I decided to come back to meditation again🫣
There’s A LOT here about parental love and acceptance.
This book reminds you that life is fleeting. But not in a preachy way... in an inspiring one!
It feels like it gently invites you to live more consciously, to feel and hear yourself, not to be afraid of your own fragility, and to believe a little more in your own strength.
❗️And I’ll say this separately: I’m really surprised this is the author’s first book! Because it’s written… beautifully🥰
Touching and at the same time powerful, sad and at the same time joyful...
☝️Even the quotes, legends, and little tales appear with almost perfect precision - exactly where they should be!
After reading it, I’m no longer surprised that in France entire shelves were filled with this book, and that it kept being reprinted 💁♀️
I was savoring it the whole time I was reading. No tears.
But at the end... it really got me 😪
Highly recommend💙
