#bookcoverlovemay20 and #allthebooksmay20 both have May TBR for day 1. 📚 For some reason, April was a tough reading month. I only finished a couple of books, one of which was from my TBR. I’m hoping that May will be a better month and that this TBR pile can give me some inspiration. 📚 #maytbr #tbr #bookcoverlovemay20 #allthebooksmay20 #bookstagram #readersofinstagram #igbooks #instabooks #bookaddict #ifyoufeeltoomuch #jamietworkowski #itseasybeinggreen #emmasleeth #halfbloodblues #esiedugyan #hopeandothersuperpowers #johnpavlovitz #manfriedsavestheday #caitlinmajor #kellybastow #daddyleninandotherstories #guyvanderhaeghe https://www.instagram.com/p/B_q_JfSA2LJ/?igshid=c7x90yulpz7q

Realized that I have not finished the #endings of the last three #books that I have read. #janetmock #redefiningrealness #ifyoufeeltoomuch #jamietworkowski #twloha #robinhobb #bloodofdragons Not because they weren’t good but because I didn’t want the #story to end. I wonder what that says about me lol. Any of you #booklovers have unique habits around #reading?

"You'll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people, and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things." 🌻 #jamietworkowski #twloha #ifyoufeeltoomuch (at Swift Current, Saskatchewan)

what a privilege to hear @jamietworkowski speak last night. he got to know the room a little bit, made us laugh with his stories, and spoke on the importance of mental health awareness and the vital role that community plays in suicide prevention. throughout his talk, he used the the word HOPE dozens of times. that word—it’s a promise of good things to come, maybe a light at the end of a tunnel, or a hand to hold. we’re here to love, to listen to, and help one another. thank you, jamie, for writing “if you feel too much” and for your encouraging words and for reminding us to be there for each other. “hope is real. help is real. your story is important.” @twloha . . . #twloha #hopeisdefiant #hopeisreal #youarenotalone #gratitude #ifyoufeeltoomuch (at Point Loma Nazarene University) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu6cWbqHMTu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1crd2j8tiyyvh

So I'm standing in the self help section at the U of A bookstore, because the self help section is where I tend to gravitate towards. I see this book and recognize it as one that I've been meaning to read for quite a while. So I get about five pages in before I can't read anymore (unless I plan on full out crying my eyes out in the middle of the U of A bookstore). Saying that @jamietworkowski is inspirational is an understatement. He makes people feel wanted, and loved. He makes me feel like I matter. So thanks Jamie. Thanks for making me almost cry in the U of A bookstore. I honestly and sincerely appreciate it. #ifyoufeeltoomuch #twloha (at UA BookStores)

Take a broken girl, treat her like a famous princess, give her the best seats in the house. Buy her coffee and cigarettes for the coming down, books and bathroom things for the days ahead. Tell her God loves her. Tell her about forgiveness, the possibility of freedom; tell her she was made to dance in white dresses. All those things are true.

If You Feel Too Much, Jamie Tworkowski

Writing Prompt of the Day!

When I first saw her I didn’t really see her, just the pile of books she was carrying. You could really only see her slightly stubby legs poking out below the stack, I wondered how she could even tell where she was going. I got up from the table and walked over to her hesitantly, this wasn’t like me at all, I don’t walk up to random people, especially when I couldn’t even see their face. “Can I help you carry those?” I was near enough to her now that I could see the top of her head, her eyes just peeking over the top of her towering stack. “Um, sure, I mean, if you want to, thanks.” Her sentence came out in pieces, like she was second guessing herself. I took a little more than the top half, I could see now that she was wearing a gray sweatshirt and had brown wavy hair that hung over her shoulders. Her face was round and she looked cautious. “I’m just going over to that corner.” she motioned with the remaining books in her arms, I followed her as she wove through the people and tables to the back corner of the coffee shop, glancing at the top book on my stack, ‘If You Feel Too Much’, I looked at the girl who had set her books down at the table and was reaching for the stack I was holding. “Thank you so much, that was really nice of you. It’s kinda crowded in here, I was afraid someone was gonna run into me and make me drop them all!” She gave a soft smile and gestured to the room that had a rather loud din as she said this. I nodded and pushed my hands into my pockets glancing at her face, “Yeah, of course, just thought that this was an awful lot of books for someone your size to be carrying.”

When you can't sleep so you read. I've needed a good cry, this never fails to make me, but only in the best of ways. If you've never read #ifyoufeeltoomuch by @jamietworkowski do yourself a favor and do so.

Yesterday I got to meet @jamietworkowski and thank him for writing 224 pages of the most resounding "me too" I've ever heard before in my life. I'm so glad that the words "no one else can play your part" found me when they did. #twloha #ifyoufeeltoomuch #towriteloveonherarms

[ what i feel vs. what i know ] 🖤🙏🏼💡 if i have 3 copies of "if you feel too much," does that mean i feel 3x as much? probably. : ) jamie's stories remind me who i am + who i hope to be. my dreams, my hopes, my fears + my strength to keep going.. some of the words inside these pages have been (as he says) "finding me like friends" since the myspace days. in the quiet moments of the morning, with these pages open + my recent gratitude journal scribbled in, i'm choosing to focus on the much that's not missing. thank you for these reminders, again + again, @jamietworkowski. oh, how i need them close. peace to you, today.. #reminder #deepbreath #TWLOHA #jamietworkowski #IYFTM #ifyoufeeltoomuch #couselingisgood #gratitudeisgood #grateful #whatifeelvswhatiknow #amiddlefingertothedarkness #instaRugbyMcgee 🐶

"A town is so much more than a place. People come together to live and tell their stories, united by history and family; they gather over food and work and sport. Moments hilarious or terrible inspire nicknames that carry on through life. It all adds up to something bigger." -Jamie Tworkowski Beautiful tulips in the flower bed back home from my week home. As I've gotten older, it's seemed to have gotten a little harder to leave each time. Thankful for my family, friends, and my sweet little home. #tulips #furrcompound #twloha #ifyoufeeltoomuch

For those that felt lonely today because society told you you're only a half. You are whole. #ifyoufeeltoomuch #twloha #valentinesday
