Broken (in the Best Possible Way) by Jenny Lawson
5.0
"becoming your own friend means talking care of yourself the way you would someone that you love. And that's hard but necessary."
I think the coolest part about this book is that it's going to be something and mean something different to every reader, because Jenny Lawson knows how to make everyone feel heard and seen.
I read my first Jenny Lawson book when I was in a weird place in grade 7, because the cover looked funny and I was interested. I had not yet learned how to tell Genres properly. Boy was I supposed in the what way possible.
Jenny Lawson has a way at looking at pain and suffering and saying that she knows it sucks, she knows it hurts and she's not saying not to aknowledge your pain, she's saying that if you let it be the only thing you see you're going to be miserable, and sometimes it's better to just laugh.
This book was raw, emotional, and hilariously embarassing and all those little emotions e never talk about for fear of being exiled from society.
Jenny Lawson reminds us that being embarrassed is being human. Sometimes leaving your shoe on an elevator happens, we could spend all day dying inside or we could laugh.
This book is important for people struggling with physical and mental Illnesses, because it's a reminder we aren't alone. It's a reminder that other people are suffering too and we're all so so freaking strong.
This book is important for every person who has ever said you too to a waiter when they say enjoy your meal. For every person who has made a mistake and thought about it on loop constantly.
This book is for humans. For all of us, because everyone needs to be reminded we aren't alone. And everyone needs to learn that it's okay to just be. To just exist in your own emotions.
10000/10 please read.
