What.

I like this book and I really like Sam Pink. I wish I could write like he does. A lot of it seems random, awkward, strange, but everything sounds so honest. I feel like he just writes without any sort of filter, just writes what’s in his head without caring what people might think when they read it. And even without caring what he might think when he reads it.

I’ve tried to describe this book (and others by Sam Pink) to people and I always end up confusing myself. I’m really bad at it. Amazon says it’s poetry, so I guess it’s poetry.

Some favorite quotes:
“You hate when life reminds you it is really happening.”
“You are an expert at experiencing pain and maintaining the same look, the one that fools people who want to be fooled.”
“You eat things even if they aren’t fully microwaved because you don’t deserve any luxury.”
“You see people outside your window and you lean out the windowframe and go, ‘Hey, catch me okay’ then jump before there is an answer.”
