Little Weirds

the few stories i enjoyed in no way make up for the random ramblings that occupy the entirety of the book. i can get a book about nothing, but i spent so much of the time reading this begging for something. this book has an audience that'll love it, but i'm entirely not that audience. though it did help me feel like i understand why people hate the hbo show girls. only kept with it because i was reading it with a friend.

I absolutely can't write a full review on this, but I will say this was absolutely beautiful. It's prose that reads like poetry and is a Little Weird (get it?). I could only read this in bits at a time because the writing was so rich, and because at times I found myself so overwhelmed with emotion that I was sobbing too hard to continue. I'm so thankful Slate was willing to share this with us.

such beautiful writing . i annotated the shit out of this

Wow, this is a poem about loving oneself and it is beautiful and vulnerable and lovely.
