I like this story a lot, how simultaneously menacing and also contemplative it is. Listen to Dutton read it if you can.

I stumbled upon this book in a thrift store several years ago and have reread it several times since. Miranda July writes about feelings so acutely and so tenderly it is startling. This book is a foundational text for my best friend and I, and began a tradition of annotating that continues to this day.
Miranda July, Melissa Broder, Sheila Heti, and Chloe Caldwell exist in this genre of writers that have shaped me so completely as a woman and as a young person, I really believe that everyone can become a truer version of themself by reading books like this that exist to display difficult and dirty and uncomfortable emotions in a way that questions them and validates them in equal measure.
This Person is my favorite story in the collection. I return to it like a prayer.

helps me relax when making big and small decisions— everything in life leads to the next thing, no such thing as a wrong decision, etc.

Find a coffee creamer you really love, or a breakfast that was your favorite when you were a kid, read a rly good book or article you’ve been excited abt for ten min when you wake up instead of social media, lay out a cute outfit the night before, plan what perfume & jewelry you’ll wear if you’re into that
