People are enthusiastic about Ryan O’Connell’s blogs. With thousands reading his pieces on Thought Catalog and Vice, about I’m Particular: And Additional Lies We Tell Ourselves watching his movies on YouTube, and dangling on to every single #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a distinctive young tone of voice who’s not scared to dole out some true talk. He’s that candid, snarky friend you consult when you dread you’re spending a lot of time dropping down virtual k-holes stalking your ex on Facebook or when you’ve produced the all-too-common mistake of befriending a psycho while wasted at last night’s party and have to find a way to eliminate them the next morning hours. But Ryan didn’t will have the answers to these present day dilemmas. Developing up gay and disabled with cerebral palsy, he continuously felt like he was one stage behind everybody else. Then your rude curveball referred to as your twenties occurred and factors got even more confusing.
Ryan spent years being a Millennial cliché: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; worked in his pajamas being a blogger; communicated mainly via text; looked for love on-line; spent hundreds on “required” items, like candles, while declaring to haven’t any money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through intensive trial and error, Ryan eventually figured out how to consider his existence from bleak to stylish and began limping towards adulthood.
Sharp and enjoyable, I’m Particular will educate twentysomethings (or various other adolescents-at-heart) on what NOT to do if they ever want to be happy fully functioning grown ups with a 401k and a dog.
