Let's pretend this never happened

This book came as a new refreshing take on book reading. It has some satirical, witty and at times philosophical take on strange childhood of Jenny Lawson. After finishing the book now I can look back at the cover of the book and now I can have a hearty laugh. Some of the most inspiring portions of the book I liked are -

"I can finally see that all the terrible parts of my life, the embarrassing parts, the incidents I wanted to pretend never happened, and the things that make me “weird” and “different,” were actually the most important parts of my life. They were the parts that made me ME.”

“Because you are defined not by life’s imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them. And because there is joy in embracing – rather than running from – the utter absurdity of life.”

“I see us becoming comfortable with our own brand of dysfunctional functionality, our unique way of measuring success.”

“I wish her to have love and enough heartbreak to appreciate it.”
