Leftovers #51

On the reality of having a crush, a comforting kimchi stew, thoughts on A Little Life.

When I’m in need of lightness and comfort, I turn to New Girl. I just can’t not smile when I watch that show, and it’s unearthed some truths about my romantic type considering my long-harboured crush on Nick Miller. It’s got me thinking a lot about friendships, cohabiting and living close to your friends, which I’m diving into in next Monday’s essay! In the meantime, here are some picks and recs from your friendly neighbourhood cat including a particularly good essay on the reality of having a crush, a comforting kimchi stew, the saké cocktail you never knew you needed and thoughts on the shocking new theatre production of A Little Life, adapted from Hanya Yanagihara’s novel.
