how to act when the news is so debilitating? https://carolinesnotes.substack.com/p/how-to-act-when-the-news-is-so-debilitating

my craving to be off all internet grows as years pass — hearing about its greatest hits from friends geeking out in-person — allowing silence to take space and spread peace — if validation came from true friends and your inner child…why be on? — maybe just as a cherry on top

applied for my artist grant and i am so relieved. i had to let go of feelings of not-deserving, self judgement, wanting things to be perfect, and just shoot my shot!!! be gracious with yourself so you can grow sustainably. and 

keep
doing
hard
things
