Solutions and Other Problems
by Allie Brosh
I could compare this to Jenny Lawson’s Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things, and if you like one you will like the other, but there’s something about this memoir that leaves me both deeply affected and wondering ‘what in the eff did I just read?” Allie Brosh’s writing, and honestly her whole take on reality/life as we understand and relate to it, resonates with me in a way that I find deeply uncomfortable, yet I feel fully seen in a way that I don’t know that I ever have been.
I too was an unfailingly odd, somewhat unstable, child that was almost perpetually perplexed by just about everything happening around me and thus did, and thought, truly bizarre things in response. (I did not actually try to wedge myself repeatedly into a bucket, but at the age of 4 did launch myself off the neighbor’s porch face first because I was convinced, I would naturally be able to hover and then lightly touch-down with my feet.) As an adult, I have also not left the house or altered plans so I was not accosted by the child from next door, and get irreparably unnerved when inanimate technological objects are too ‘chatty’ or ‘friendly’ with me.
In short I often feel like a “pointless little weirdo” and want to say, “Thank You Allie Brosh, because now I feel I am much less alone.”
