Tough Titties
Tough Titties: On Living Your Best Life When You're the F-Ing Worst | Laura Belgray
3 posts | 5 read | 6 to read
From award-winning TV writer and card-carrying late bloomer Laura Belgray, a hilarious collection of "Wow, that's personal" life lessons learned the hard (and embarrassing) way. Ever feel stuck and behind in your life or career? Peppered with cutting insights on our confusing, self-helpy culture that calls waxing your nether parts "self care" and tells us to give our 110% but also to give zero f*cks, Tough Titties will leave you feeling better about, well, everything. Laura Belgray's painfully relatable coming-of-age stories include hate-following a 6th grade bully decades later on social media; being tragically uncool at Studio 54; moving home post-college to measure her self-worth in hookups with Upper West Side bartenders and make all her parents' dreams come true--the bad ones; dating a sociopathic man-baby; proving herself in the early 90's at New York's coolest magazine (as the world's worst intern); falling for get-rich-quick schemes on the Internet... and, most of all, saying "tough titties" to the supposed-tos in life: driving a car, being on time, handing in your paperwork, learning to roast a chicken, and having kids. Described by Laura's own husband as "Loser Sex and the City," Tough Titties gives you permission to be a dork, a user, a sometimes-unspiritual slacker, and, ultimately, 100% you. It'll also have you snort-laughing in public and tapping whoever's nearby to say, "Lemme read you one more part!" Which is annoying, but tough titties. "Nobody makes me laugh like Laura Belgray. She's got a one-of-a kind knack for taking the shame out of life's most humiliating moments. Tough Titties is a hilarious, must-read permission slip to be 100% you." -- Marie Forleo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything is Figureoutable

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Obviously, I picked this up for the title. As a child of the 80s/90s, the term resonates and makes me laugh. This coming of age essay collection is funny and extremely relatable. Be yourself, y‘all. It‘s simple yet so complex. You can‘t be everything everyone - society especially - wants nor expects you to be. The shame spirals gotta go. Folks that genuinely want to stick around are your people. Life is too short for the bullshit.

TV Writer pens a humored filled book of essays, anecdotes, and commentaries of NYC life. From growing up in awkward adolescence, dating, sex, careers, and boobage maturation, this series of comic observations is worth a fun read!
