What are some cultural things that bring you joy? It seems like it brings up all these other associations of the traditional role for women. I’m also a bit annoyed with movies when they make the focus about the romance. It’s hard to do it with the right level of sincerity and nuance. It’s difficult to say exactly why it’s something I avoid. You mention your ex-husband, your divorce, and your new husband pretty sparingly in the book. You don’t write much about love or romantic relationships. Does it look like this? What if I draw a line here? Is that the thing you’re feeling?” And then to myself I say, “That’s getting closer.” Like a game of hot and cold, like troubleshooting. I’ve just got to sit down and ask my brain, “Please show me the thing that you’re trying to describe to myself.” Then I try to make the picture and it’s like, “OK, I can see some parts of that. It’s like, there’s a shape my brain is making, and I know this’ll be funny if I can figure out how to draw it, but I don’t know how to yet. I can see that there’s something there that I’m trying to describe or something that I’m trying to get at, but it can take a very long time to get there. There are times in the book, like in the chapter on daydreams, where it feels like you managed to empty the contents of your brain and inner monologue directly onto the page. Drew a face on a cashew, and now I feel responsible for its emotional well-beingĪ post shared by Allie Brosh on at 3:26pm PDT
