It's a life story of someone, but it just spoke to me directly and made me happy and anxious. It was hard to see someone who exposed, lonely, depressed and having problems finding a personality. I wasn't expecting to feel that close to this person and have the same feelings. All of us get through things like identity issues, finding a meaning in life, social interactions, depression and being a person in a society surrounded by the norms for centuries. These problems affect all of us and still affecting us. Trying to be a person to have a discrete identity, having a meaning in life and not just living by what others tell and did is just a hard thing to do. And we all at some point feel lost in these problems, and I think it's natural because without asking and questioning the things we love, and we want, requires being out of the norm, being alone. Without getting out of the way of living people say to us, we can't find a meaningful way to live as we want, we can't have a discrete, unique identity, we can't have meaning and will to live. I hope all the hard times he had gives us meaningful results. It made me happy to see I'm not alone and gave me hope to live and get through these hard times. I feel like this book become my friend and I will read this book when I feel the same feelings. It's such an honest and brave piece of art.
