Sure, I'll Join Your Cult: A Memoir of Mental Illness and the Quest to Belong Anywhere

by Maria Bamford

Life is short, and it’s more fun to spend it where you’re welcome.

IT IS OKAY NOT TO BE GOOD AT THINGS DESPITE ONGOING, TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF EFFORT AND DESIRE TO IMPROVE.

ie me and running, gardening, etc et al.

They gave me one of the best gifts I’ve ever received, which is, at a time I was in no way useful or fun to be around, their attention, presence, and tolerance when I was at my worst, without the promise that I’d get better.

I don’t believe in those processes, but I do believe that human beings attempting to love and care for each other is mostly positive, so sign me up for whatevzsh.
