After looking at individualism, I came across Jean Paul Sartre – the founding father of the existentialist movement. One of my friends gave me his book – Nausea , for my birthday and it was one of those (cliche I know) life changing books, I had never read anything before in my life that I felt I could relate too more than this book. The book is in a diary format where Sartre records his everyday thoughts and observations of life, and the struggles that come with being so painfully self aware. It got me thinking how in society it is often frowned upon to be so open with our existentialist thoughts, making us alone in this responsibility.
