That thing nobody understands about you. That book that explains it. Match me up.

Anything by Douglas Adams, Kerouac, Ferlinghetti, music history textbooks, Samurai Jack slash fiction, public restroom graffiti, HVAC technical manuals, and the comment sections on porn sites.
Iceberg Slim [aka Robert Beck] was widely read in the Black community and almost completely unknown outside of it. He inspired many Black artists, and both Ice-T and Ice Cube named themselves in his honor.
Such a wonderful inspiration to his community - gotta keep them hoes in line!
At least he wasn’t a slave owner like Washington and Jefferson.
Kurt Vonnegut’s Cat’s Cradle might not explain it, but could add valuable context.
All volumes of the Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers. My brain is mostly just useless trivia.

…ok, maybe some of them are, but they’re really cool!

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series and the John Dies at the End series
both 10/10s mixing gut wrenching existentialism and laugh out loud comedy
tbh I probably wouldn’t say I’m into comedy writing in general but those two and Terry Pratchett are the only writers to ever make me bust out laughing in response to words on a page
I’ve lost count of the number of times and number of formats in which i’ve consumed The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and i’ve loved it every time.
Every single comment shown in my profile.
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Mysterious Stranger by Mark Twain, and The Codex Borgia.

The anarchist-faq will get you most of the way there, and the K-On manga will fill in the gaps.
My life is so complicated, you’d need an entire “wikipedia-styled” article of me.
If I had one, it’d probably be one of the craziest stories… well like not like any acheivements or anything, but more like depression and trauma. I’m gonna seem so broken that you’d not wanna be friends. People are gonna be like: “oh that’s that person, wow” then walk away since nobody want to hang out since nobody want to get afflicted/infected with my sadness.
I mean, I reflect on my past and I visualize the scene in “3rd person” and I look like a scared kitten hiding in the corner, except I’m not a cute kitten, but rather looks like a mini-tiger. That was what I was like in school.
I’m kinda just deciding on leaving an autobiography/journal, in case I kms in the future. I wonder how my parentd would react. Maybe leaving something behind would finally get them to understand what I’ve been through from my PoV. Maybe they’d live a better life without me being around. Idk.

You should write that autobiography. I think you have a way with words.
You can write something for yourself and for other people to understand you through, without the intention of leaving it behind. Leave it alive instead. You can do it and carry on. You can know their reactions instead of wonder, if you decide to show them. And you can work through your experiences through writing. Preferably while being in contact with a support group or therapist, because writing it will for sure drag it up.
