“Wait A Minute, Who Are All Of You?”

Mini-Review: More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera

A few days ago my good friend, and talented author, Adam Silvera posted this piece on his blog: Happiness Isn’t Just an Outside Thing. The blog post talks mainly about depression, which Adam has grappled with for some time now, and is a beautiful meditation on the failure of external validation to satisfy the holes that truly need filling. I’m so proud of him for sharing his hard journey with all his readers with the same incisive honesty that makes him such a fantastic writer.

On that note, a few words about his beautiful book, More Happy Than Not,which tells the story of Aaron Soto, a high school student in the Bronx recovering from a recent suicide attempt. Aaron has a lot of reasons to feel sad. His father’s suicide, his overworked mother, and his confusing feelings for the new guy on the block. Aaron starts to wonder if the Leteo Institute, which promises revolutionary mind-alterations, might be a good solution to all his problems. 

With courage, clarity, and a unique voice, More Happy Than Not, is a must read for everyone.

Hug your parents when they want one because some parents are just big kids who can’t hug their parents anymore

Live every day like it’s your last is fiscally irresponsible. Instead live like every day you have left will be the same, and if your unhappy with it make a small change until everyday is a good day to be your last.

toast annoys me so much cos like it’s bread that’s been toasted so we call it “toast” but if you fry a potato it’s not called a “fry”

2019 will probably be the last year that ends with “teen” for the rest of our lives.
