I am getting better all the time, but I wish nothing bothered me. I meet those people. I live with one of those people. People able to move through life without unnecessary upset. Those are the best people. And dispositionally fortunate. But for those of us irritated, today I read Lydia Davis's "I'm Pretty Comfortable, But I Could Be a Little More Comfortable." It's funny, it's relatable, and I'm hungry. Yours, Robyn

Lydia Davis - I'm Pretty Comfortable But I Could Be a Little More Comfortable

This is simply me reading stuff. Poems, essays, letters, recipes, and whatever else feels alive in the moment — mixed with my own rambling thoughts, laughter, and honest reflections on life, art, and everything in between. Think of it as having lunch with a good friend: warm, unfiltered, and admittedly a little bit strange. A space where we can escape together with books, encourage each other, and feel a little less alone. Sincerely, Robyn O’Neil
