tales from my so-called adult life

"I Really Didn't Think This Through gets at the heart of what makes life both so challenging and so joyful--figuring out how to be a person in the world. Armed with her beloved illustrations, popular Instagram artist Beth Evans tackles a range of issues--from whimsical musings to deeply personal struggles--in this imaginative anti-guide to being your own person. This book is a compendium of Beth's collected wisdom and stories, interwoven with her tremendously popular and loveable illustrations. The book is a ... mix of fun (playful meditations on the band Rush and international pen-pals) and thoughtful (Beth delves into her personal history with obsessive compulsive disorder and depression while commiserating on topics like dating and credit card shame) all with a simple candor ... Through all of her experiences, Beth manages to extract valuable lessons, and the book is replete with friendly advice about caring for yourself, getting help no matter what your problems are, and embracing what makes you happy."--Publisher's website
