This was beautiful and wrenching at the same time. “ From a young age I retreated into fantasy worlds of fiction, television, film, art, and music. I’m often not sure I exist within the real world much at times and I’ve become increasingly saddened by this lack of connection I feel with other bodies that occupy the same space and time as me.” Perfectly captures my current sense of alienation - maybe something a lot of us are feeling. Thank you, Ira. I’m not familiar with Sophie, and this inspires me to change that.

I wanted to let you know I started reading Real Life on your recommendation and it’s beautiful! I love it I’m devouring it now
