So we're not enough if we're not achieving and producing and it's all out there, right?
And your work has helped so many people survive what feels impossible.
But this is the question that I've been wrestling with.
Does it always have to be hard?
And do you think that sometimes we get attached to the struggle and the suffering itself?
And how do we begin to trust rest and stillness and joy as a measure of worth?
And how do we step beyond surviving into the possibility of thriving?
I know there were so many.

I'm just saying that our enoughness is so attached to like achieving and doing.
So does it have to be hard?
And can we find worthiness in the rest, in the stillness, in the joy?
As someone with high anxiety and depression, it's taken me 40 years to open to it, accept it, and grow from it.

He is sick and anxious.
I see myself in him.
I want so much more for him and to not have him struggle like I did.
