On When Your Brain Chemistry Screws Up All Your Relationships (Even at Work)
@Stina Agreed. Honestly Logan, the Billfold, and your posts in particular, have kept me functional, alive, and pulled me out of some deep, deep depressive moments in the past year. This blog is a lifeline when going through a period of insane personal debt, unemployment, Depression & Anxiety, and just in general feeling like a horrible failed waste of space. PLEASE, know that your writing is hilarious, smart, caring, and reflective. You seem like a great person.

On Depression is Still a Thing in Springtime
@Penelope Pine I would imagine that having a really shitty life and being depressed are positively correlated

On I Didn't Think Art Could Make Me Rich, But I Thought It Might Pay Some Very Cheap Rent (Nope)
@Lily Rowan Right? I mean I'm probably just as broke as she is and i have an Ivy League MA in Arts Education and work five jobs (three volunteer). I mean, the arts just don't pay, hon! That said yes, I appreciate her attitude. It seems like shes getting her first reality check and handling it well. Probably where I was at her age, honestly. I can't judge!

On I Didn't Think Art Could Make Me Rich, But I Thought It Might Pay Some Very Cheap Rent (Nope)
As someone who is in a similar position - but working in arts education/programming/admin - i've been thrust unwillingly into the life of a starving artist. I hang out with a lot of artist friends who are trying to make it work. This girl is incredibly naive - which she admits, but hasn't seemed to integrate that knowledge into how she thinks about her life. Those friends who make it work? They are successful artists. They are what successful artists have ALWAYS BEEN. I mean, imagine this article if it were a struggling artist resentful that they haven't won a part in a tv show three years after college graduation? That said, this girl is clearly pretty awesome and is simply young so I will say this: If you don't want to live like your "successful" artist friends, then you are in trouble. If you do? Then you'll make it. You'll make a life. But what do you want?

On How to Pay for a Bottle of Wine
A friend and I bought two airplane bottles of Fireball to spike our apple cider while we walked around the neighborhood recently. We made a a lot of honest giggling and feeling like bad girls at the grocery store and the young girl checking us out was so embarrassed for us. IT WAS AWESOME AND WE FELT SO OLD. I love my thirties.
