This summer, this fall, maybe this whole year has felt like A LOT. It’s felt sort of like I’m playing one of those video games where things are coming at you, slowly at first, then faster and faster, and you’re supposed to dodge them or arrange them or do something with the things coming at you. And you manage it for a while, you feel like you’re on top of the barrage of things coming at you, even if you’re gritting your teeth at the stress of it all. Even if what you really want is to lie down on the floor and let the things slowly bury you. Even if you want to lie there buried in the dark and quiet under the things for a good long while. That’s what the last few months have felt like.
I feel v seen by this!! Same!! “Anxiety is the ultimate renewable energy source.” Oof and also amen. I’m literally counting down the weeks until my uni courses are over and I’m done teaching for a couple weeks and can take a NAP!!

Napping is so important. Hope you get lots of them in the break!
I love this essay, this gentle reminder to live for the moment.
Thanks so much, Marie. I'm trying. Failing pretty often, but I'm a persistent starter.
That you try is what is really counts 🙂
Beautifully written, and here's to lots and lots and lots of those precious moments.
Thanks so much.
