Like so many others,
I’ve been steeped in grief, sadness, and fear—
from the presidential election to my cancer diagnosis,
I’m trying to encourage myself to stay in the discomfort,
but my instinct is to laugh at it all.
Hear me out!
Sometimes, you have a funny thought that no one will get except you.
That might sound lonely, but what if you see it as the opposite?
Lately, I’ve been trying to be my own friend, to develop a rapport with myself,
and I think that cultivating inside jokes makes one’s brain a more hospitable place to be.
You're welcome!
