DAY 162

A Room of One's Own

Virginia Woolf · 1929
A Room of One's Own
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What kind of independent space do I need to exist entirely as myself?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first saw the title of this book, I assumed it was simply a story about a physical room. But the further I read, the more I realized that the room Woolf speaks of goes beyond mere walls and doors—it is the minimal stronghold for the independence of the soul. Without a space in time fully shielded from the gaze of others and the demands of the world, she whispers, we can never give voice to our true selves. Where is the room in which your inner self can breathe to its heart's content?
