Let us begin. This time, with a thread about hitting the wall that happens about six months into a severe change, and keeping going through that time all the same, but being nice to yourself about the fact that you've hit a wall and that it will eventually go away by itself as you go along.
The Onion's satirical photograph and headline of the Notorious RBG's request to get some work done before being buried, because we know that, if she were capable of doing so, she probably would try to get some work done before being buried or sent on for final judgment.
A chapter from Solutions and other Problems, Allie Brosh's second book. About a small child who finds all the ways she can to try and learn more about the neighbor. Accompanying this story is an interview with Allie about her long absence from the eyes of her fans.
( And more )
Last for tonight, The JoyFest, which celebrates characters of color.
And a prayer that offers respite, if not hope, and reaffirms to us that even when everything is falling down around our ears, we are still worthy beings. Finding that core of "I am worthy" is, to put it mildly, difficult, especially since I spend a significant amount of time not really believing in my own worthiness, except as it relates to other people. Because that's easier to see. It's much harder to draw the throughline that says "you keep doing these things, and they go well, for the most part, and even when you're angry or scared or not on top of your game, it mostly means that things aren't going your way, but the core of you, that person abides, and, eventually, you'll go back to being that person instead of the role you are acting now."
Because everyone makes compromises, and sometimes, that compromise is exactly the right decision.
