This is The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Fighting the Big Motherfuckin’ Sad by Adam Gnade, and the day I got it I read it through twice. I highly recommend it to anyone who:
- is surprised they’re still alive
- creates art, only to repeatedly throw it out because it’s “not good enough”
- thinks they’re destined to be alone forever
- doesn’t know where they’ll be in 5 years
- feels like their life just doesn’t fit them
- hasn’t left the house in 6 weeks
- has ever posted anything sad on the internet, secretly hoping someone out there would hear them
- is so fucking tired
“Don’t sabotage yourself. There are enough people out there who’ll do it for you. Don’t let the assholes win.”
