a select few of these essays were the most relatable and incredible things i’ve ever read but then the rest were so excruciatingly gross and invasive

So Sad Today by Melissa Broder is collection of longer personal essays that are at times dark, funny, uncomfortable but ultimately REAL. While on a superficial level some of the topics may not seem to be speaking of much, but look a little deeper and you'll see she's talking about the bigger, more difficult concepts such as morality and identity. Some of these essays I feel as though I could have written myself and it was so comforting to know I'm not alone. The others were interesting even though I couldn't make a personal connection to them via my life. This book is an honest portrait of what it's like to be alive in these times, especially if you've every suffered from depression, anxiety, codependence or many other forms of mental illness.
Thank you Melissa Broder for this personal, raw look in to life behind the scenes, for discussing the topics others may not be brave enough to approach.
