You’re dealing with so much more than I am. I don’t want to bother you. Ever since the loss of my teaching job in 2013, I’ve gotten messages like this from friends and former students. Someone who wanted my advice would ask how I was doing, and often, I would tell them the truth. Sometimes I might be dealing with hypomania, or battling urges to self-harm; I might be facing a court date or struggling with living in my car. I might be going through an agonizing breakup.
Everyone is Afflicted
Another one that made me say. “No, THIS one is my favorite.” ❤️
