Morning! It’s Tuesday so we’re narrowing in on one topic today and that topic is: messy relationships!
Really, I just wanted to share a few recs I’ve recently consumed that explore connection in a messy way. Inspired by the first one which is…
1/ Lena Dunham on her last fling before getting married.
As he spoke, I nodded empathically, a judgement-free zone. When we talked I had a tendency to present myself as healed, a done deal, nicely serviced – if you purchase me you won’t even need a warranty!
Once, I was explaining to my dearest friend why in my darkest times I used to disappear for a while. It wasn’t because I didn’t want to be loved; it was because I wanted to be loved so badly that I was trying not to be found out.
2/ We’re finally making our way through Overcompensating and I love it.
It’s funny and touching and really hits on some of those messy feelings from ones early 20s. Also how could you not love this post?!
3/ Have you read Wuthering Heights? Since High School I mean. If not, maybe it’s time to revisit. This is a great podcast reflecting on it and the very messy relationship at its core. I’m ready for the 2026 film!
Bonus/ Unrelated entirely to the messy relationships theme, I just wanted to share these photos out of LA. Pretty intense.
Hang in there and see you Thursday.
