Not easy. It was too hot. Everything was trying to kill me and i was so far away from home. And young. I was utterly young. Barely 20.  But i fit right in. I belonged. They took me in. I wear boots, hats and pearlsnaps. And no judgement to find when i opened my mouth and they found me to be a posh sounding crude mouthed small person with a personality to reach from Greece to anywhere. I was home then.  One day Jack found this very book in a goodwill store in Huntsville. \"You have to read it. You'll love it.\" Little did he know that he'd changed my life with that book alone. The book i carry at my chest no matter where i go. My favourite book -- to which nothing compares. A lot of people read book after book but nothing entirely changes. Some people dont read at all. Whiles others, you and me, are the exceptions. We're the feelers, lovers, wretches and danger hearts full of open wounds waiting for another book to give us a hangover so bad we can't cope.  Lonesome Dove is the love of my life. Changed everything. Made me believe that what i wrote was enough. I could write what i wanted. Be brash. Be hard. Be mean if thats what i am. Then thats what i'll write.  Its not a book to take a dip in. Its a book in which you curl, cry, love whole heartedly and dream for better tomorrows. And sometimes tomorrow never comes but the dream is big enough for gladness. \nAnd so i ask you -- you feelers out there -- what is your favourite book and why? \ud83e\udd20\ud83c\udfad\ud83d\udcda\ud83d\udd16\ud83d\udcd6","id":"18146613562044415","media_type":"IMAGE","timestamp":"2020-06-01T19:15:11+0000","username":"bellaelkjaerflynn","permalink":"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CA52IYjn6ww\/"}
