Yeah, stay strong! I know you're going through the hardest thing anyone could possibly imagine right now, but

ok wait I get it it's basically chicken soup for the soul. I mean I actually get it, like that's why it's going to be a book and people might buy it.

why do i hate people who have these thoughts so much

oh well i have to fuckin' hang in there!!!

xxxp - my mom told me I should come up with an idea to put on Kickstarter today lol

YES, THAT'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE RESENTING, YOUR GOOD FORTUNE. YOUR COMPLETELY COINCIDENTAL, NOT NEPOTISTIC AT ALL, ENTIRELY EARNED BY THE SWEAT OF YOUR CREAMY BROW GOOD FORTUNE.

Does it ever occur to people like this that being actually genuinely viciously self-critical generally means not putting every thought you ever have on a tumblr?

I imagine that talking to her is a soul-sucking experience.

mixed feelings about kickstarter?

reading this girl's tumblr and listening to shostakovich string quartets at the same time is making me feel like a raging psychopath

@thebl0w
I'm sure there is someone who hates me as much as I hate these clueless Brooklyn parents who turn their children into little assholes.

"i don't think anyone could ever criticize me more severely than the way i viciously criticize myself" is a shitty rip of a lena dunham line also. just fwiw.

i've never wanted to flip over a fucking table so bad as i do right now after skimming this girl's tumblr

and i mean, i read kimgeecomics.com for MONTHS

i had a tumblr like this once except it was PRIVATE and it was called A JOURNAL and I WAS THIRTEEN

Girls is basically doing to Brooklyn what Sex and the City did to Manhattan, isn't it

btw I'm tumblrilliterate, how do I see the actual responses of people and not just "x reblogged this"

xps no "i don't think anyone could ever criticize me more severely than the way i viciously criticize myself” is just like a standard cliche that’s been around forever. but not phrased as well.

I'm not sure I could criticize you more severely than you viciously criticize yourself, but I'd sure like to try.

"i don't think anyone could ever criticize me more severely than the way i viciously criticize myself" is a shitty rip of a lena dunham line also. just fwiw.

it is also a generational koan that's been around for years

i was livejournaling that shit in 2004 and even i knew it wasn't original (*~h8 'girls'~*)

I feel a similar way about this as I did when I first read Dave Eggers. "Dude, everything's been done and I suck, so how about I make art about how I suck." No fuck you. You actually do suck. Get out of my mindspace.

"no one could be more critical of me than myself" like damn girl, believe me, this is not the mark of precocious self-awareness you think it is. learn a little self-compassion and you'll feel better.

tbf Dave Eggers is a very charitable reference point vis a vis her tumblr

Go spend some time getting good at something, then come back and do it for me in 5-10 years.

apparently she is gonna stop making these soon because her pen is running out & it would be impossible to justify buying a new pen solely to continue transmitting these fleeting insignificant thoughts to the page

Her budget does not run to new pens all willy-nilly.

can we as a culture stop pretending that being self-hating and neurotic is somehow correlated to being insightful and intelligent

kind of want some ukelele band to use this as their album cover so she could be their ray pettibon

strangely reminds me of this:

apologies to Danny Brown for that

can we as a culture stop pretending that being self-hating and neurotic is somehow correlated to being insightful and intelligent

You can fucking thank Woody Allen for that, I think? At least partly.

why do i hate people who have these thoughts so much

envy and resentment at people counting them as 'thoughts'

hey maybe hbo can give her a show

i met some of my best friends though shared mixed feelings abt kickstarter
