The Chalk Man, C.J. Tudor / The Pleasing Hour, Lily King / “Imaginary Interviews” Hallie Bateman /  “On the Road with Mitski,” Mitski 

When Mary Oliver said, "Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine" and when Phoebe Bridgers said, "All the bad dreams that you hide / Show me yours, and I'll show you mine" and when Madeline Miller said, "He showed me his scars, and in return he let me pretend that I had none" and when Rina Sawayama said, "Tell me your story and I’ll tell you mine / I’m all ears, take your time"

“The truth is that men don’t want to be friends with women. Men know they don’t understand women, and they don’t care. They want women as lovers, as wives, as mothers, but they’re not really interested in them as friends. They have friends. Men are their friends. And they talk to them about sports, and I have no idea what else.  Women, on the other hand, are dying to be friends with men. Women know they don’t understand men, and it bothers them: they think that if only they could be friends with them, they would understand them and, what’s more (and this is their gravest mistake), it would help”
