Everyone once in a while I will stop and reflect on how interesting life is. All the ups and downs, dating, sex, eating, having children, sleeping, vacationing - life is full of awesome opportunities and I know I forget to look back sometimes and think about how one experience may have helped shape another. These prophetic reminders and memories are pouring out all of a sudden but It probably doesn't help that I am currently reading Lena Dunham's book - "Not that Kind of Girl" which isn't just a great read but also very prophetic. What prompted me to read the book is that she is not only the genius behind the hit show "Girls" on HBO and a phenomenal coming of age woman in general (no I don't know her personally but I follow her on IG so I basically know her - just kidding :) but the two (her book and her show) are sometimes mirror imagines of my life. I'm sure this happens to us all. We've been watching something or looking at something and had that feeling like - of shit that's happened to me or I've been there and done that.
She get's really candid at times about sexual experiences but she doesn't seem shameful that she's sharing such intimate details of her love life. If you've been reading the newspaper or watching entertainment news - she's been in the headlines lately but not for publishing a great book but for over-sharing and folks pointing the "Celebrities Can't Make Mistakes" Stick at her about an experience with her little sister and her vagina that didn't go over to well. But if those types of things don't bother you (because you know she was a child doing these things) - She also covers funnier topics about dieting, body image, love, etc. Though her point was probably not to do anything but entertain us and close the door on people constantly asking - "Who exactly is Lena Dunham"? but she opened a few doors of thought and reflection that I am happy she did.
If you haven't yet - pick the book up and check it out for yourself,
