Mostly Fine, Generally Trying : Notes from a Life in Progress

Rate this book
I’m not here to tell you how to fix your life.
I’m still figuring out mine.


Mostly Fine, Generally Trying is a collection of short, honest reflections on the everyday in-between — the quiet thoughts, awkward encounters, emotional detours, and small moments that happen while life keeps moving.

Some days you’re doing great.
Some days you’re doing laundry and calling it growth.
Most days, you’re somewhere in between.

This isn’t a book of advice. There’s no system, no checklist, no big conclusions. Just thoughtful, relatable essays for people who feel deeply, think a lot, and keep showing up even when they’re tired.

You don’t have to read this book in order.
Open it anywhere. Read a page. Put it down. Come back when you need something that feels familiar.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing okay but not entirely sure — this book is for you.

Quiet. Comforting. Honest.

Mostly fine.
Generally trying.

A soft place to land for anyone still figuring it out.
