on screaming into the void
I don't know the first thing about having a blog, but here's to a new moment in history
lately I feel as though it's all just so much. with everything happening in the world right now, I feel a combination of things:
confusion. fear. anxiety. overwhelm. anger. sadness. guilt. grief.
so much suffering, both here at home and around the globe. you open your phone and you're greeted with some new thing that's happened that leaves a sinking feeling in your chest.
bombs are falling halfway across the world but you still have to go to work tomorrow. just another day.
mass surveillance, total government corruption, looming energy crisis, food shortages, worsening climate crisis, imperialism, white supremacy, artificial intelligence displacing humans.
but don't worry! here's a new trend to take your mind off of it. 30 things you can do this month to regulate your cortisol, eat more fiber, lift heavy 4 times a week, pay your rent, pay your taxes, get gas, scroll past a protest, gua sha, lymphatic drainage, eat your retinol, answer the texts and the emails and blah blah blah.
energetically, I am spent in the worst way possible
there are glimmers of light in this haziness but I am spent.
I just pray that the collapse of this regime brings about beautiful changes that we all will benefit from, in the best way possible.
I pray we don't have to see the worst case scenario for that to happen.
in the meantime, I suppose I can only do what's in my control. read, meditate, eat right, be kind, exercise, upcycle, garden, yoga, create.
hopefully these things will keep me grounded. I will continue to look for the beauty in the chaos, and I hope to share it with you all.
thank you for joining me,
