"I had to give up journaling because I couldn't stop writing for the people who would read it after I was dead" I've had this exact thought before and never heard it actualized so it gave me full body chills when you said it
i feel this so deeply and what's more disturbing is that it's hard to differentiate sometimes between whether i consume and promote media for the sake of enjoyment/ growth/ whatever goal is healthy vs. feeling self-actualized and perceived. i send your essays to my friends because they're eloquent and somehow express certain depths i couldn't dream of verbalizing successfully but also because they it makes me feel eloquent and smart by extension. thank you as always!
i don’t think think i’ve ever related more to something and i find that terrifying. i know this is an essay but truly your words feel like poetry and cut straight to my core
Ah hi sorry I don't know if you will see this but I just turned 16 and I really look up to you I love all of your work as soon as I can get a job I will subscribe. Your writing is beautiful.
Did you get a hold of some of Hunter S. Thompson’s ashes before they shot it out of that cannon or whatever and snort it, because the flow of this writing is effing sublime
All I have to say to “I’m no Dorothy Parker.” You don’t have to be Dorothy Parker. Just be who you want to be. That’s all I would ask of any writer including you. Either way, I like the way you present your thoughts.
Also, anyone who is a Joan didion fan is someone I can listen and talk to. Just don’t do anything drastic. Just be kind to yourself.
Beautifully said. Ive been thinking a lot about chaos and its powers recently. I drift into bouts of chaos sometimes and it feels good, powerful and destructive(?) yet also productive (?). I have a theory that women feel this way more than men and I wonder if that is true and how it appears differently. big generalization, im aware but i gotta start somewhere.
