I don’t read for escape, usually. I read to find out what other people think, how other people make sense of this bewildering thing called life. And every once in a while, I’ll come across a piece of writing that shows me I’m not all alone in this world—that there are people out there who share my values, my ideals, my obsessions, and also my goofy way of looking at things—and it reminds me to stay open. Yes, everything is terrible, but still, there is potential for joy.
I LOL’d about that tweet 😆
It’s so good!
