Summary:
NOW A NETFLIX SERIES ENTITLED “Particular” FROM EXECUTIVE Manufacturer JIM PARSONS STARRING RYAN O’CONNELL Seeing that HIMSELF.
From your beloved blogger turned voice of an online generation, an unforgettable and hilarious memoir-meets-manifesto discovering what it means to be a millennial gay guy coping with cerebral palsy, which VICE calls “a younger, gay version of Mary Karr’s Lit.”
People are enthusiastic about Ryan O’Connell’s websites. With tens of thousands reading his parts on Thought Catalog and Vice, about I’m Unique: And Additional Lies We Inform Ourselves watching his video clips on YouTube, and hanging on to each and every #dark tweet, Ryan has established himself as a distinctive young tone of voice who’s not scared to dole out some genuine speak. He’s that candid, snarky friend you consult when you dread you’re spending too much 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 squandered at last night’s party and have to find a way to eliminate them the next morning hours. But Ryan didn’t always have the answers to these modern day dilemmas. Growing up homosexual and handicapped with cerebral palsy, he continuously felt like he was one stage behind everyone else. Then your rude curveball referred to as your twenties happened and things got a lot more confusing.
Ryan spent years like a Millennial cliché: he had dead-end internships; dabbled in unemployment; proved helpful in his pajamas being a blogger; communicated mostly via text; looked for love online; spent hundreds on “necessary” items, like candles, while claiming to haven’t any money; and even descended into aimless pill-popping. But through considerable learning from your errors, Ryan eventually determined how to take his lifestyle from bleak to fashionable and began limping towards adulthood.
Sharp and entertaining, I’m Unique will educate twentysomethings (or other adolescents-at-heart) on what Never to do if they ever want to be happy fully functioning grown ups having a 401k and a dog.
