Detransition, Baby by Torrey peters

Emotional rollercoaster. Painfully relatable for trans people. The writing is raw and doesn't shy away from the bad parts of transition. Made me feel less invisible.

Jenny Slate - Little Weirds

This book is an important read for kind souls everywhere. More so now than ever before I’ve felt lost and far away from myself. Jenny always brings me home. She’s sweet and wild and warm and honest and when I cry on the pages we cry together. It’s also a breeze to read between the 10 pages of Proust I can hardly handle per day.

The year of magical thinking

This book is a chronicle of the author’s life in the year after her husband unexpectedly passes away while their daughter is in a coma. I also happened to read this at a time in my life when I had recently: a.) gotten married b.) learned a friend was dying Seems like a bummer from the summary above, and the content is definitely heavy, but this book really spoke to me at a time in my life when I was feeling a little lost amidst some big life changes. I recommend it to a lot of my friends after they get married - there’s some really great reflections on how amazing it is to share your life with someone, and the ways that you’ll miss them when they’re gone.  I’d always enjoyed reading, but this was the first time that I experienced one of those magical moments when a piece of literature, a movie, etc. can line up perfectly with your life and help you work through some of the things that are happening to and around you.

This moment in time will not always be

I think the biggest thing my therapist helped me realize is that moments that are tough or seasons of your life that seem impossible will not last forever. It is not about sitting in the struggle but understanding how to effectively work through it.

don't take it for granted

accept the love that is presented to you and do not run away from it, each opportunity to hang is a bid for connection, take them in stride and with open arms
