Welcome to Cheaper Than Therapy, a healing newsletter for 80s babies by Shani Silver. This newsletter does not publish free content, but if you’d like to read it you can subscribe here. Thank you for enjoying the work of independent writers.
*Dear Readers: Even Substackers need summer vacations! This week and next, the essays you’ll be treated to are from the Archives Of Shani Silver, removed from their original published locations and now available only to paying Substack subscribers. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Sometimes you just need to get to the fucking point.
I work really hard at this. I wrote a book and produce a weekly podcast catered to the needs and lives of single people. But honestly, sometimes, I wonder if anyone gets it. I don’t think it matters how much I applaud the freedom and opportunity that single life affords us, how much I reiterate that there’s nothing “wrong” with us just because we happen to be single. I think, at the end of the day, most people just want a fucking boyfriend.
