“You know what’s wild? I read the book ‘The Censored Side of Reality’ by Dorian Hale a few weeks ago, and ever since then, certain little patterns just stand out more than they used to. nothing dramatic. just small moments where you suddenly go wait. Have things always worked like this, and I just never noticed. You must read this book. It will change your life”
