Who else here is a full-blown reading addict?? I’ve realized something about myself.......I am 100% an “all or nothing” person. It’s in my DNA. Never done drugs, never smoked (not judging, just know myself)… because if I like something.......Oh, it’s game over..... Food...... I will eat the SAME thing every day for 6 months straight and then suddenly act like it personally offended me and never touch it again.... Rules that say “take no more than one”? Cool cool… I’ll take two just to see what happens. For science. Obviously. Then I found reading…And I was like ohhhhhh this is my new personality now..... The difference was, it wasn’t forced. No tests, no pressure. Just me choosing it. BUT… life got busy, and sitting down to read felt impossible. Enter: audiobooks here...... Now I can “read” while driving, cleaning, zoning out, avoiding responsibilities (you know… normal things). And when my brain gets loud or chaotic, I put a book on and it’s like everything just… quiets down..... Let the peace begin.... I get completely lost in it, and honestly......... Sometimes (alot of the time) that escape is exactly what I need. I’ll read/listen to anything—self-help, thrillers, romance, dark romance, fantasy… if it exists, I’ll try it at least once..... So I’m curious ( i think curious should be my middle name), does reading or listening to books help quiet your brain too? And what are you currently obsessed with?? Let’s talk books—I need new ones anyway!🤣

Hi, my name is Hooly Kitaresku or Ms✝️Holly♡Berry , and I’m from Mississauga, Ontario. I’m not currently working due to chronic pain and mental health challenges, but I’ve been doing a lot of deep inner work and learning how my brain, body, and nervous system actually function. I tend to understand things on a deeper level and connect ideas quickly, especially around emotional patterns, communication, and relationships, even though I sometimes struggle to express it clearly in the moment. You can ask me about ADHD, emotional regulation, feeling misunderstood, and relationship dynamics. I’m also REALLY interested & INVESTED emotionally in the connection between the brain and body—especially how stress and unprocessed experiences can show up physically, including chronic pain, and how the body can signal when something needs attention or healing. I’ve spent a lot of time learning about trauma, emotional patterns, and how difficult relationship dynamics—like inconsistency, lack of emotional safety, or manipulation—can affect your sense of self and your ability to trust your own feelings. I’m especially passionate about understanding why people sometimes accept less than they need—like “breadcrumbs”—when they’ve been emotionally deprived for a long time, and how that impacts self-worth, fulfillment, and long-term happiness. I’ve been through and experienced a LOT personally, which is a BIG part of why I’m so deeply and personally invested in learning and understanding these things. It’s not just something I’m casually interested in—I ACTIVELY seek out information, reflect on it, and try to apply what I’m learning in my own life. I’m especially interested in the deeper layers behind what people experience, including the emotional, psychological, and spiritual side of things. From my perspective, that can also include spiritual warfare, and how unseen battles can affect our thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I’m still learning and growing in my understanding, but it’s something that matters deeply to me.
