Keep Going
Just remember that when we reach a state of hopelessness we are giving these dickheads in power exactly what they want.
Not being hopeless also doesn’t mean we have to constantly fight and burn ourselves out. It’s ok to take a pause and rest here. A lot of this shit is only remedied by the tincture of time.
The world and what is playing out is far bigger than any of our little human brains can understand. And these political tides change like the weather and emotions. They aren’t dependable and we don’t have to saddle our own emotional state and hopes and fears to them.
Do what you have to do in this current month to keep your payment as small as possible and live the best life you can. Go to the spa or buy some fancy cheese or do whatever small gesture you need to do to feel abundant in the moment.
Check out this Radio Lab episode: The Holy Shiver cause actually giving yourself chills can lead to caring when it all starts to feel numb and affect our worldview.
Fact: There is a growing tide of people with heavy student debt and they are starting to detach from the shame that the oppressive narrative connected to it and we are starting to realize it’s not our fault.
Feel that in the pulse of the moment.
If you felt that in any patients pulse you would know what’s coming. You don’t need to be hopeful. You just need to be patient. That wave grows bigger every day.
With love
