Thank you for sharing. This is extremely relatable, including specifically about Roe v. Wade. I don't really engage with social media or much news, so I sometimes feel like I'm being cold or refusing to look at the truth. I thought it must be a failure of empathy on my part, like "if it doesn't directly affect me, I don't care." I finally cried about it just a little in therapy while talking about how I was moving back to Hyde Park, back to the street where the Jane Collective performed underground abortions in the early 70s.
This is so relatable! The *feeling like you're too emotional vs. feeling like you've gone robot whenever you don't feel emotional* venn diagram is a circle. And not a fun one to be in!
This really resonated with me! It’s wild how much I judge myself for how I’m feeling (or not feeling). And for what? Thank you for sharing these thoughts with us 💜
Thank you *so much* for writing this.
It’s beautiful, and permission-giving, and just right.

Love this! I sometimes feel cold and other times I break down. Nice reminder that all of that is okay, whenever it happens, however it happens ❤️
