A Work in Progress by Connor Franta

5.0

"A Work In Progress" made me realize, think, love and contemplate about the most simple day-to-day things I, we all, go through and the fact that we are all so very different from one another as individuals and are so unique in our very own ways and the fact that we all have a right to not just 'exist' but to 'live' -- a gift only we know what to do with.

Reading this memoir was an amazing exposure and enlightenment for me. I learned and absorbed so much wisdom, thought: that there is so much more than what the eyes can see. We need to look deeper and further and know what a thing or person truly is. Being a creative and art lover as myself, I found that this was much relatable for me. I too am holding back my true desires and not being able to exercise what I want to. I found the confidence and faith from this book. I have learned to follow my instincts first...the voice in my heart not in my head. I'm sure you have saved many people and changed their perspectives just like mine, with this book. It's that powerful and it's now on of my most favorite book!

I'm 17 and my life is barely begun and I want to improvise my life from now on. This moment. Right now! I need to be better and not just good and embrace the delights of every day life in the little things that make me happy. Life is full of ups and downs but "we must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for".

Thank you Connor Franta for being a best friend, an advisor and thank you for sharing your 22 years of life with all of us, with me, a reader. I plan to re-read your book after a few years ahead.
