Easy but NOT Easy

Easy? Indeed. It's go easy to lose yourself in Easy, so easy to love and adore its story and characters, and so easy to pick it up for a revisit. 
But then, perhaps, Easy ended up being easy just right there. The rest, there's nothing easy about it.
This book is deep on many levels. Easy does not only feature a delectable love story, it's about many things, some of which might be disturbing to you. 

Self-revelation is one. You think you know everything about yourself, huh?? Wait and see. Life is long. It's full of surprises which maybe good, or maybe bad; all in all, they serve their own purposes. And there's a reason to everything. 

Coming right after self-revelation is self-confrontation. Now that you've come to realize a part of yourself that you haven't known before. What if it is something you regret, something you wish to change? Yep, I think it's time for you to confront the walls around you that have been built either by yourself or others who wish to control your life. Break the walls, live your life. Don't let other people drag you along all the time. Surprise them. Let them gape at your display of will power.

You know what friends are there for? Are they only there for fun? Are they only there so that you can go to a party together, to have a hangover on every Sunday morning? No. Friends are there to support each other, to share their troubles and to protect and help each other. 

Here is another self-confrontation. There are things you can't just hide. Things you think will come to pass with time. Things, you consider, maybe harmless enough to you, are in fact worse ten-folds to others. So you should act responsible, not only for yourself, but for other people's sake. If someone inflicted violence or sexually harassed or even raped (or almost) you, you have to report, or somehow find a way to let people know. Spread the words that there may be a rapist walking on your wake. What can happen once, can happen again and again. And it doesn't need YOU to be its target. Therefore, don't be selfish, don't be a chicken. Let others know. Stand up for yourself and for others. Women can be worst enemies sometimes, but once join forces together, we are our best allies. 
A message to the guys who think they are so HOT that forcing someone to have sexual intercourse with them isn't counted as RAPING, but instead, doing us, women, a great FAVOR. If you really think so, then prepare yourself to stay in JAIL. Should we give you a CALENDAR every year? That should help you kill time.

Finally, LOVE conquers ALL. Open your heart to the one you love, the one you trust once you are ready. That's what lover is there for. They are not only there to go on dates with you, to make love to you every night. Lovers are there to love you, to share your burdens in life and to give you life, smiles and happiness ten-folds of what you've given them.

There are so many lessons, so many messages in this book. Easy but not easy. 
You live your life only once. So don't be afraid of making mistakes. Make plenty of mistakes, trip over on the ground; but learn from them, learn to stand up and avoid falling over the same places, is what makes you a wise person.

My only problem is that I am not a native English speaker, not an American and have never lived in America. Otherwise, I would have understood all the cussing words, teen language, Amercian jokes and sarcastic remarks. Too bad, we are not taught those things in class. I think I'm gonna go and do my own research.

Oh, right, I've discovered another thing that is easy in Easy. Um hmm?!
It's SO easy to get HOT and HEATED, and is so easy to need a COLD shower. *giggles*
