Being creative, sensitive + empathic in this chaotic world is a lot! Give yourself more credit!

This was a note to self that also feels like a note to the world.

And then this one:

It takes some time for the dust inside to settle.

Just noticing how, with so many destructive things happening around me and around the world, everything is just stirred up.

So I need to give myself more time to let it settle.

Like - if we're not recognizing how the state of the world is impacting us, then we're not able to care for ourselves appropriately in all of this. And that leaves us powerless.

What this keeps coming back to for me is: I keep needing to move slower. And to accept where I am.

How are you acknowledging the stress of these times and how it impacts you?

I am working on a journaling kit for existential dread.

I hope by the time I post this it's done but... I am just moving SO SLOW and it feels wrong to push myself. So it will be ready when it's ready.
