I never thought about how resting could be a form of resisting capitalism and “grind culture” and this just makes so much sense. Especially for those who say they don't have time to rest, to take breaks, to take care of themselves. Giving yourself even just a minute's rest is taking a step to push back and say that you are not a machine.
The organization was a little wonky and it felt repetitive at times, but I loved the overall message.
I read this years ago when I was in elementary school. I remember being forced to read it and and I hate reading sad books so I put up a fight. It was sad. I bawled my eyes out. Don't remember why. I saw this randomly on goodreads just now and it brought back a ton of memories so I totally don't remember what happened but I remember it was sad and I cried and how sad it was.
