Status Updates From How to Fuck Like a Girl: Es...

Vera’s talking about not knowing everything and how that’s giving her the confidence to learn things herself to keep up that appearance of knowledge. It’s just so oldest sibling coded (I think she’s the oldest). But as the oldest sibling in my family, this was my same thought process growing up, and still now tbh.

Picked up this book last year actually and read it here and there to pass the time but I’m determined to finish it soon. I wish Vera viewed herself with less self deprecation, however, as a girl in her early 20s, I relate to almost everything. Currently I really like her metaphors about positive and negative space as well as being a firefly. And I like that the essays r broken up with short lists.
