The Wrong Way to Save Your Life: Essays by Megan Stielstra

4.0

At one point on the book, Stielstra mentions referencing her past journals for the essays, so my mind went to my own trunkful of journals--and I realized why I liked this book so much. No, we didn't have/aren't having the exact same experiences, but hearing about hers made me think about all of mine (Remember this? And those? Oh, whoa, how did I get through that? And this was THE BEST) in a little bit more poignant way. As someone who tends to dwell on past failures and regrets, this book pushed me to flip my vision a bit: remember those failures and regrets? Yep, they happened. But look where they got you today...
