Katie I just read this. I love your brutal honesty. And as I just shared with Billy & Friends, I just fixed our washing machine which had a broken drain pump. We need the washing machine. It's important. We have 9 guinea pigs who need to have their bedding washed on an ever so regular basis. And I did it, with help from our lord and savior, YouTube.
And you know what, I'm in a great mood. I think I may have gotten a serotonin + endorphin boost by doing something new, risky, and exciting.
I'm encouraged that our schools are open this September and children are returning to some 'normalcy'. This gives me hope that our world is hopefully on it's way to finding a new normal.
Enjoyed this. I'm going thru a phase in my life starting a new job & all the ups & downs that come with it. I always like to remember that " this too shall pass." Helps to put things in perspective.
I like that u brought forth & reminded me of the crises happening in the world.
I liked your openness & sharing your personal struggles.
Sometimes it helps to vent about the struggles we r dealing with.
Thank you, Sarah! Starting a new job is always a huge shift—I try to remind myself that it often takes months to settle in to a new gig. Good luck as you navigate those ups and downs!
Thanks for this vulnerable sharing. I did the same recently (a vulnerable confession) and was transformed in the act of filming and posting a video about a similar sense of despair. Within the scope of the video my own spirit was lifted — I felt better — and that was the lessen I was imparting: one can transform the energy of the moment through reflection and the feeling of being witnessed.
For anyone interested in being a witness, the post is "The 3-Letter Solution (When You Just...Can't)" and you can find it here: https://thealgorithm.substack.com/
And in the spirit of your coffee table book, Marilyn Monroe once said "Things fall apart so they can fall together better."
Paints a silver lining. Thought it does require "falling" — in both directions.

I love that! I’m very impressed you fixed it on your own. Well done!

I love that quote and love the vulnerability. Thank you for sharing!
