“at lunchtime i bought a huge orange - / the size of it made us all laugh / i peeled it and shared it with robert and dave - / they got quarters and i had a half.

and that orange, it made me so happy, / as ordinary things often do / just lately. the shopping. a walk in the park.

this is peace and contentment. it's new.

the rest of the day was quite easy. / i did all the jobs on my list / and enjoyed them and had some time over.

i love you. I'm glad I exist.”

Its funny how all Joel fans are so just completely normal now

We're not at all going feral over the fact that he got 5th place again

And got killed by Scott again

This is so important.

I have felt little worse than when I couldn't use bereavement for the loss of life during a miscarriage.

Five isn't nearly enough, but it is a start.

Having to use my own sick leave was devastating.

Having to classify yourself as being "sick" makes you feel wrong... Useless...

Thank you California. Thank you so much.

#For all my people out there who have experienced this loss #We are okay #We are not any less capable #We will be whole again #California laws

It's a dark place, not knowing. It's difficult to surrender to. But I guess it's where we live most of the time. I guess it's where we all live, so maybe it doesn't have to be so lonely. Maybe I can settle into it, cozy up to it, make a home inside uncertainty.

“She peels an orange, separates it in perfect halves, and gives one of them to me. If I could wear it like a friendship bracelet, I would. I swallow it section by section and tell myself it means even more this way. To chew and to swallow in silence with her. To taste the same thing in the same moment.”

book review || We Are Okay by Nina LaCour

video review || Queen of Writing Emo Girls -- Author Taste Test: Nina LaCour

Okay, so right out of the gate, there’s this somber tone throughout the writing and damn does it bring the mood down, but through the flashback chapters, there are highlights of happier, simpler times. Even in those, we eventually learn of the old scars that still haunt Marin and her grandfather. While there are no actual ghosts, Marin still talks about the ghosts in her life, the ones that haunt her once happy places. But holy shit, when we finally get answers to what occurred that made Marin run away to New York, it was a knife in the heart. This book is achingly raw in its portrayal of grief and although I would find myself wondering why Marin was acting a certain way, the final reveal really explained it all.

The loneliness Marin feels at the beginning is almost suffocating and when Mabel arrives, what should be a reprieve, just reinforces how far apart they’ve fallen. However, you can still feel the connection between them, the friendship (or more) that’s laid dormant for months. While LaCour writes sad girls incredibly well, she clearly also excels at writing realistic relationships. The nuances between her relationship with Mabel were so well done and the complications of her relationship with her grandfather were even more impressive. The way her loneliness is completely interrupted by her found family at the end brought tears to my eyes, it really showed the importance of having people who love you.

Once again, the author’s writing is so simple and yet, so powerful. The atmosphere is also fantastic. I feel like a fly on the wall with Marin and Mabel, whether they’re in their own homes or at Maeve’s college dorm. She makes things feel homey and welcoming for you, but that doesn’t hide the depression Marin is struggling with. Perfectly done juxtaposition. This was just heart-wrenchingly beautiful.

4 / 5 stars
