Sometimes i feel like the impetus for women to dogpile on other women for making mistakes and not being perfect makes me rethink how i may feel about a public figure. Ive been contemplating reading her new book to question my internalized misogyny but also because of my own EDS.
Totally! I feel similarly. There have been times when I probably would have said I don't like Lena Dunham but the older I get the more I'm like....ya know what, let women be imperfect and like them anyway. Within reason! You know what I mean, haha.
I am coming to terms with the fact that I have my own chronic illness issues and reading about other people's experiences has been helpful for me. I have such an internalized mechanism to shut down my own discomfort around my relative limitations and I don't want to anymore. I think it makes it worse!
First of all, thank you so much for reading my book and adding me to this list, and second of all, that Frida Kahlo pic was my phone background for like 3 years!!!!!
Enjoyed this immensely!! I also love Lena for precisely the same reasons and had to intentionally keep myself from reading her memoir too quickly, I loved it

There is so much self love in accepting limitations especially around chronic illness. It was the door for me.
