Nobody Really Has Their Shit Together

Nobody Really Has Their Shit Together is a bold, hilarious little book of doodles by illustrator Luke John Matthew Arnold—equal parts no‑bullshit honesty and unexpectedly uplifting charm. It’s the kind of gift that brings a smile in tough moments, and I love this one because it feels like a tiny reminder that none of us are navigating life as gracefully as we pretend.

Every day comes with its own mix of “holy shits” and “what the fucks,” and for Luke—an artist living with OCD and anxiety—therapy wasn’t always accessible. So he started doodling instead. These quirky, heartfelt drawings hugged his eyeballs, kissed his heart, and smacked his negative thoughts right on the bum. They helped him slog through some truly messy chapters and come out the other side—maybe a little damp, maybe a little smelly, but still okay.

It’s a beautifully irreverent pick‑me‑up for yourself or anyone who could use a laugh, a hug, or a reminder that being a human is weird and none of us have it figured out.
