I don’t think we’re ever quite done evolving. In my 30s, I blurted out “I’M GAY” for the first time, right after freezing my eggs. I guess I’m pansexual? IDK. Fork labels.

I compiled a collection of essays from my dark treasure troves—the writings I thought I would never share with anyone—about queerness, abortions, solo trips to Paris, and so much more. When I hand this to people of any gender, the response is kind of the same. I want to tell my stories! I love that for us. I think our juiciest stories, written on our couches while we smash cheesy popcorn, are the path to liberation.

I know most things aren’t black & white, but this book is fully so. So go ahead, pull out your coloring pencils, open your hearts, and enjoy the sh*t out of mine. Limited number of first edition (signed!) left.

Love,

Aneri Shah
