i dont know how else to put this but to approach books (or any media, really) solely for the sake of relatability is genuinely incredibly heartbreaking……to have such little (or such unwilling) imaginative scope that you cannot stretch yourself, even marginally, in a different direction to what you’ve known or are used to knowing when the very POINT of stories is to transport you somewhere else, into someone else, so you can do just that……..when fran lebowiz said a book “is supposed to be a door!” and george saunders said good prose “is like empathy training wheels” they were right!!! they were so so so SO absolutely entirely right!!!!!
i wish men on dating apps knew that it doesn’t matter if you have abs or a jawline, if your face card declines it’s all over NEXT!!
i heard every album listened to the radio waited for something to come along that was good as our song….. and why i’ve spent my whole life trying to put it into words…,,
dudes who are normal will be like im joker insane but women who have not felt real since they were seven will be like im average normal
