a starting point. - Olivia Tak

Ever since I can remember, I have never been able to stop questioning my surroundings: Why did this happen? Why do they think like this? What is the correct thing to do? Where do I start? Who am I? As a teenager, the world is new and unexplored; through conversations, we perceive and through lessons, we learn. Experiencing continuous doubt and chaos daily, I was lost as to where to start. As I slowly cultivated an understanding of the world around me, I gathered my thoughts within this book of 33 titles that acted as a set of guidelines for me to stick by. These writings were 'a starting point' for me to finally construct a philosophy to help me interpret the world. I hope this book acts as 'a starting point' for you too to help you navigate through your own understanding of life.
