Irrelevantly Relevant

I’ve been rather naughty this month with my pay check; I’m supposed to be saving up for my holiday in the summer also for a laptop. However, I went on a spree and purchased 4 books! Oops! This book only took me the weekend to read (It was a 5 day weekend as I was away, school teacher training day and being unwell.) I actually bought it for the totally sum of £2.51 - £2.50 of which was postage and packaging! Spending a penny for a book was a bargain I simply couldn’t refuse! Whilst I am very lucky in the fact that I am 18 years old and I have never faced a breakup (nor do I think that my current relationship is on its way out,) this book has had many good reviews and I thought that it would be an interesting read;

‘It’s called a Breakup because its broken’ by Greg and Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt

I will say this now, just to clarify; my relationship isn’t on its way out which I am very pleased with. This book doesn’t have to apply to a breakup between you and a partner, after disappointingly losing a very close friend of mine it actually helped with the process of forgetting about them. I suppose my boyfriend and my current best friend are my 2 ‘breakup buddies’ for getting over that friendship that really did let me down when I depended on it.

Its a witty and very well mixed book with different boxes and categories and different layouts on pages with various fonts…this may sound really odd but this excited me a lot! It makes reading more interesting in my opinion and for this book it really did work! Whilst adding in tips and motivating you to become a ‘superfox’ it also motivated me to become a better version of myself for myself. And what’s better than setting motivations with baby steps….today I will get out of bed, today I will leave the house, today I’m going to go for a walk and so on so forth. Hey you don’t need to have had a breakup to use certain mechanisms in this book to move on, you need a life setback in whatever way it comes for you to realise that you need to be strong and move on. This book gave me ways to help me to move on from certain things that have been happening in my life lately and it was a good swift kick up the bum! Thank you Greg and Amiira!  

One thing I found most interesting in this book was all the stories of bad break ups and the confessions of the lengths people went to get their partner back. I really shouldn’t of, but I did giggle a little too much. Oops again! I loved this book even though it was irrelevantly relevant, a wonderful read and I can see myself passing this one around to those who need a little motivating. 

What’s the corniest cliché that you live by?  ‘Messy bed, messy head.’
