Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson

jeanette winterson’s word economy to emotional heft ratio is undefeated. many poignant reflections on suffering and cycles of trauma but i was most touched by the reflections on love. how loving life is not easy but an act of grit, the hard-to-trust fact that love can be “as reliable as the sun,” being patient with the vicious creature that lives in you and learning to receive love with it. i dog eared the fuck out of this book lol
