Read the book Rent Girl.
The first line that struck me: "Lying was a survival skill."
It baffled me how true this was, how in denial i am about my own lying habits and how bluntly these 5 words made the reality of lying feel almost excusable.
We are survivors.
We are all living breathing human survivors.
We are survivors of the brutally harsh cold world that everyday steals another source of light from our lives while also enlightening us with the most beautiful lessons.
We have survived another day and tomorrow we must face another battle.
Its scary and overwhelming and tear jerkingly emotional on the harder days.
But thats the magic of writing.
An amazing writer captures a moment and makes it into a work of art and thats what Michelle Tea has done for me tonight.
