Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice from Dear Sugar by Cheryl Strayed

4.25

Loved the writing (her compassionate voice and radical empathy). Wasn't sure about it because I could not get into the tv series, but the book format worked for me. Adored her nicknames (sweet pea, cool cat...). On emotional health (setting boundaries...).
Made me want to read a biography on Cary Grant.

Especially enjoyed:
- like an iron bell (on discerning and expressing love)
- the future has an ancient heart (on english degrees, vocations, and carrying stories with you)
- the human scale (on religion)
- tiny revolutions (body positivity)
- romantic love is not a competitive sport
- the big life
- the known unknown
- the obliterated place (losing a child or parent)
- transcend
- the ordinary miraculous
- ten angry boys
- tiny beautiful things
- vespers (pandemic times)
- trust yourself wildly (quarter life crisis and inertia)
- the truest story is the widest one (despair in vocation)
