Sometimes I Trip On How Happy We Could Be by Nichole Perkins

2.0

Nichole Perkins' "Sometimes I Trip on How Happy We Could Be" was like reading a bad day in a coming-of-age journal entry.

There was never a shift in attitude or an optimistic moment. Perkins' basically said, "This is it and that's all," regarding her dating, social and sex life. Though I understand it to be the reality of many, at times it was depressing.

I wish there was some constructiveness in discussing our bad/not-so-great experiences because regardless of how bad something was, a lesson was born. Though Perkins' scores on relatability, I think a lesson to the reader would have balanced the read out.

I hope Perkins' eventually finds what she is looking for as well as others that can relate to her story. Or perhaps her and others will be able to move forward and find contentment in their lives.
