Nobody talks about what it feels like to slowly get out of survival mode. There’s emotional withdrawals, moments of intense confusion, and so much grief that comes with seeing life as it truly is. Big love to everyone going through this.
My hot take is that most of us have not adequately processed the trauma of the pandemic. And our sprawling, unprocessed trauma chews away at our brains in myriad ways that make us anxious about why we can’t seem to live our lives as instinctively or as joyously as we did in 2019.
Hold on: House Republicans want a national 30% sales tax on everything from groceries to gasoline? They want to raise taxes on working-class & middle-class families while slashing them for millionaires & billionaires?
Are they TRYING to show exactly how out of touch they are?
If you take a long hard look at the world you’ll see there are many wounded children in adult bodies making decisions within survival mode. Regulated, calm, creative, healed people will change our world.
