I have a private instagram where I document all my lil book reflections and selfies and silly photos with my friends, but I thought I’d bring some of the book reflections over here. Below is a reflection I wrote down in the midst of reading this book. I got to the end of the chapter and was so illuminated by it’s contents, that I quickly wrote down whatever I could.

As a privileged daughter of two doctors I’ve always been taught to behave humbly around others and constantly be aware of the privilege I have. And while I loved that lesson, I think I tended to mix it with this sort of guilt-trip; Where I’d feel guilty around my friends because I knew I had blessings and opportunities that they did not have. I felt guilty for just being me. But reading this taught me a lot about what one can DO with privilege instead of wasting time, feeling guilty for having nice things in life!
