Thanks, friend. Part of me feels it’s a bit self-indulgent. Like, I realize I am privileged; what am I actually doing to make the world better?
I also realize that I’m not alone in these feelings and it can be good to share, so ultimately I decided to.
The guilt is hard to get over, for sure -- but at the same time, nobody can deny you your humanity. You feel what you feel.
And tbh I have trouble keeping that a truth, too. I just have to trust it's true and that the brain is a wacky thing.
