But, they're a bunch of funny stories throughout her life and how she's been dealing with depression. I've read it multiple times and I love the book. Here's a quote from the website: What kind of stories are in it? Of the new stories, there are two new stories about my dogs, a story about a letter I wrote to my future self when I was ten, a story about the use of fear and shame as motivational tools, a story about the time my mother tried to take my sister and I on an adventure and ended up getting us all lost in the woods, a story about all the illogical internal rules I have for how reality should be and what happens when reality doesn't give a shit about my rules, a story about a toy parrot, a story about a lie I told as a child that spiraled completely out of control, a story about my identity and how I use it to prevent myself from realizing how shitty I actually am, and a cautionary tale about what happens when you try to fix everything about yourself all at once. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheGoldenGod@lemmy.world [S] 3 points 3 years ago The start of this was me trying to fix everything all at once, something I knew wasn’t great, I got cocky. 😣 permalink fedilink source parent [–] FartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago I like the "Do not order" button permalink fedilink source parent
