We live in a culture that doesn\u2019t ask women what they want very well or very often. We\u2019re told a million different ways a thousand times a day that desire is bad, wanting is bad, hunger is bad, that we should be content, that we should starve, that we should live on the crumbs of other peoples\u2019 lives and satisfy ourselves by bringing about other peoples\u2019 dreams. This is risky, then, this tiny window-opening of desire. Risky--and so so important.

What is it about your life or the world or your neighborhood or the sky or the book you\u2019re reading that lifts your heart? Be specific and detailed, and get it all out, a waterfall of all the best, loveliest things.

But boats can handle a little rocking. That\u2019s what I\u2019m coming to know, on a deep level. I want to be a writer that my readers can trust and learn from in meaningful ways. I want to be a mother who truly sees her children and works for their good in deep ways. I want to be a wife who brings her best self to our partnership. And all that depends on being deeply honest with myself about what hurts, what I want, and what I love.

James Clear writes about habits, decision making, and continuous improvement. He is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Atomic Habits. The book has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and has been translated into more than 50 languages.

This summer on Code Switch, we're talking to some of our favorite authors about books that taught us about the different dimensions of freedom. In the last installment, we caught up with the romance writer Helen Hoang to talk about sex, love and autism. Today, we're sitting down with the writer Ross Gay.

When I read your book this time, I really sat with what you were saying about wanting to be softer. And I think it offers this roadmap of someone saying, it's OK to love things, and it's OK to feel joy. There is a lot of freedom in that: in finding something delightful, taking time with it and sharing that joy.

A wedding is a collection of small details that create a whole. Small, often tiny things that create something special to celebrate your love, wedding and that set the scene for your marriage. And if I may let the styling cat out of the bag, great wedding styling is about a wonderful, cohesive group of details, expressed thoughtfully.

Being the deadly serious writer I obviously am, I can obviously tell you (since you are obviously reading this article #thanksforthat) that if my article outline (which is basically a writing prompt) was to write about wedding styling being all in the details by mentioning pen vs sword, trains and smooching for 14 minutes, it would be a piece of hot, very contrived garbage.

Lilly Sullivan tells the story of the writer Robert Walser, who moved into a mental hospital and then seemed to disappear from the world. Until people looked more closely. To read more about Robert Walser, including some of the writings talked about in this story, read Microscripts, a book translated by Susan Bernofsky.(14 minutes)

It happens in fiction that the default reaction to tiny people of some sort is to treat them as if they're vermin and try to eradicate them. This comes off as a little odd when you think about it, especially if the tiny people in question look human. Miniature humanoids don't look remotely like bugs or rodents. If anything, humans might mistake them for dolls, action figures, or figurines as long as they stay very still and don't get too close; and they'd probably be more likely to take them for some sort of faerie creature if they were close and/or moving.

Another problem with the "they'd squash us like vermin!" approach is that it usually misses the actual reasons people have been so keen on getting rid of vermin throughout the years. It's wasn't out of some irrational hatred of all things small; it was because vermin were legitimately dangerous. They could carry deadly diseases and completely ruin food and clothing. (Remember, mice and rats will urinate and defecate absolutely everywhere they go.) So unless they have reasons to think that these tiny people are equally dangerous, there's no good reason for them to react with revulsion.

There are a number of things that might happen if humans met tiny little people. Some might take them for domestic faeries of some sort and maybe leave food out for them. Some might suppose that they're something less supernatural, but be curious to find out just what is going on. Some might try to do so diplomatically; others might not be so kind and might try to set traps to catch them for observational study. There are all kinds of ways people might react, but it must be remembered that these reactions need to be grounded in some kind of actual personal belief or personality trait; they can't just be transferred over from another situation that really isn't that comparable.

Another implication this has is that tiny people would be able to lift relatively heavy objects. You've probably heard about how ants can lift many times their own body weight - part of this is simply because they're so small. They'd also be a lot nimbler and quicker.

Now with that gone over, it actually doesn't make a lot of sense for tiny people to be eating exactly the same things the humans are eating all the time. Some fiction (EG, The Borrowers) shows that the only way to get certain items is to steal them from humans, which puts them at risk of being exposed to them. This definitely creates drama, but when you think about it, there are plenty of ways to get food without risking exposure - mostly, by going outside and taking advantage of what's out there.

At this point in Strayed's career, where she's podcasting, producing and has two on-screen adaptations of her work, Strayed says her definition of success as a writer remains unchanged. It's about making people feel less alone and fostering connection through vulnerability.

People present their struggles and their secrets and their sorrows and their conundrums and all of that stuff in the book, so innately I knew anything rich with story is great fodder for television. And yet when it came to figuring out how to make it into television, it took some doing. Really, Liz Tigelaar, the creator and showrunner, she's just such a wonderful human and also a really smart and amazing writer. She and I began having conversations and really landed on this idea of the story being very much about this woman at the center of the column, Sugar herself.

I think Liz was really sparked by this notion that I tell stories from my own life by way of giving advice, which what I always hope conveys is this truth that like, "OK, listen, I'm not the one who knows. I'm not like the guru who's going to tell you all the wise things and tell you how to live and give you instructions." What I'm going to do is say, "I am right down in there with you. I'm also grappling, I'm also struggling. I also don't always know." I always think of myself as almost trying to expand the questions that were asked of me, trying to help through sentences and stories to illuminate the situation in a way that allows the letter writer and everyone reading it to see the situation differently.

Many of the stories that you see that I tell in "Tiny Beautiful Things," I said to Liz and the writers in the room it was really important to me that those formative experiences I had in my youth and childhood were the things that in so many ways inform Clare, Kathryn's character.

Well, I think what it says about Clare is, "Welcome to being 49," or being middle-aged. One of the things that I always have tried to write about as Sugar, you see it everywhere in "Tiny Beautiful Things," is I'm always saying, "Our work here is not to be perfect. Our work here is to evolve and not just once." I think that so many of us, maybe because it gives us a sense of safety or false security, we think, "OK, in your 20s that's the decade where you're like, 'Who am I? Should I go here or there? Should I be in this relationship or that relationship? Which path should I take?'" There's a sense that in your 20s you do a lot of stuff, get lost, go down some wrong paths, but eventually you find your path and then you're set for life. And of course, that's not true.

I love to make people cry, so thank you, Olivia. It's really one of my favorite things. I think that it's emotional. And I want to say too about that crying, I'm going to guess that sometimes you cried because something was sad, but a lot of times you cried because something was beautiful. I think that that's what I most strive to do.

Once a month, I write another "Dear Sugar" column, and I'm still constantly thinking, "Well, how can I help this person who's asking a question about . . .?" Fill in the blank. I have to search my own soul to answer it. I have to examine my own life. And a question I often ask myself when I give people advice, I think, "Am I doing that? Am I taking my own advice?" And I can tell you this, I would be a better person if I did. It forces me to be more contemplative about my own life as well as the lives of others. 17dc91bb1f
