On Things Just Not Working Out

"The payoff of surviving your 20’s has to be that when you make mistakes or fall down the stairs, literally or figuratively, you don’t think of yourself as a person who makes mistakes or falls down the stairs. There’s too much historical evidence that you are not always the one: sometimes I am the one, sometimes he’s the one. Your hyperhidrosis ain’t shit, girl, compared to the cystic acne over there and the IBS way over there and the narcolepsy in the back. But of course it’s all there is, until you become Larry David (the metamorphosis starts early, but the progression is slow and almost imperceptible (only remarked upon at random intervals); you won’t die of it, you’ll die with it).
—Tess Lynch had a bad day yesterday.

I'm at loss how this article is about the wisdom and enhanced world view that comes with age (of 28) when she still needs to force herself to *really* think about how a day where she wanted a nicer computer and had a bad horoscope might not actually be a terrible day.

@Adouble Sorry, I was being a little facetious there. It was an actual bad day, but the events didn't seem like the point. Perhaps I should have been more clear.

No more self-indulgent than the average Tumblr text post. I'm always thankful for the inclusion of actual words on my dashboard! But why does she have her own IMDb page but not a single professional credit?
