Hi guys. So it's no secret by now that I love me some Lena Dunham. I think she's humble,

authentic, and an amazing artist. And as much as I love me some personal growth, wellness,

spirituality, I also love pop culture too. And for a while, I wouldn't really allow myself that or I viewed it as

a waste of time or something wrong in a weird way. But I actually think it's really important to

be balanced by the things going on in the world. And it's all the lens in which you view it in.

You can find good in anything.

So I love Tavi Gevinston and reading fiction and watching girls.

And I've talked about this a lot, but I love Lena Dunham's new book, her memoir,

her advice book, Not That Kind of girl. And I thought that I

would, I wrote a blog post on this, but I thought I would just read you the reasons why I loved it

before we get into this week's special episode that has a lot to do with that. So reason number one, it makes my journaling better because

reading a memoir makes me more comfortable with writing in vivid detail about the seemingly

insignificant events and happenings in my own life. Number two, by reading about the events

and circumstances from Lena's life and childhood as

someone from my generation, I can not only relate, but use what she drew attention to as

inspiration to acknowledge the events that have impacted me without me being aware.

Number three, it makes me feel like I'm not alone in my weirdness,

struggles, awkwardness, and imperfection since someone else from my generation has vocalized

what we all go through in our own unique ways. Number four, since she's shared her story at the level of raw honesty that she does, it gives me

permission and inspires me to share with that same level of authenticity too.

Number five, she is talented at being extremely self-aware of the gravity of the situation she's having

almost simultaneously to going through them.
