{ "item_title" : "For When Your Thoughts Are Burning", "item_author" : [" Callaghan Belle "], "item_description" : "During the loneliest, most anxiety-inducing time of my life, my own heartbeat would startle me awake at night. It was the spring of 2020, and I was 24. I was living alone: No partner, no pet, 2,000 miles from family. All but one of my friends had ghosted, moved, or become unavailable. I was finishing my first degree online, working part-time as a barista in a restaurant during the throes of essential work, and writing and releasing long-awaited music projects to distant audiences I'd never quite reach. This book is:The reminders I had posted on my refrigerator, on my mirror-the kind I'd normally take down when company came over, but no one ever came over; the notifications I had set up in the Reminders app on my phone; the quotes I'd stick in the back of my deliberately-transparent phone case; the letters I'd keep in my work locker. When I say these pages literally kept me going, I mean literally in the literal sense of the word. These reminders, affirmations, and thoughts rewired my neural pathways during a period of un-magical thinking. I became one with these words and that's how I made it through. Since late 2020, curiosity as a means to authenticity has become my modus operandi. We're all capable of becoming new each day. We're all capable of change if change is what we're seeking. I became someone entirely new. I became this book. 24 is a rollercoaster year, whether you're ensconced in global trauma or not. And as the world continues to operate in extremes, I hope this bedside table book will be helpful to have. If you're setting a boundary or apologizing for one, exiting or reentering your old life, I hope rewiring your thoughts with the insights in these simple words facilitates a less brutal, more authentic existence. For me, the spine of this book became the backbone I never had.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/833/450/9798334500686_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "11.99", "online_price" : "11.99", "our_price" : "11.99", "club_price" : "11.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
