It's so emotional to understand that you've been lied to, that you've been manipulated. By a system that a system is oppressing you like to be able to start to see that is it's a grief moment. And we do have to sit in that grief. And I think resting supports our grief and to be able to rest into the grief and to understand what's really happening in a praxis, in experimentation, actually doing it.

I would prefer that people not even talk about they want to rest and retweet all our memes. Go lay your ass down like that. Like use that moment to go and be like my grandmother and close your eyes and sleep. This is a practice. This is like practice and theory put together. We have to rest.

You won't be able to get to this message without experimenting with it, without daydreaming, without having a moment of imagination, of sky gazing, of slowing down and asking. for the divine, the connection that you have with your own body, for making space for others to rest.

You brought that up, the idea that I understand that women of color have been historically, even to this day now, on the front lines of making it easier for white women to have leisure.

And so to begin to understand and see the connections between that and to begin to say, I don't want to be a part of that. I want to slowly find ways that I can push back and I can disrupt and I can make space for others to rest, that I cannot be an agent of grind culture.

Are you an agent of grind culture? Are you rushing people all the time? Do you have all these expectations around people? Are you pushing? Do you have boundaries? Are you upholding your own boundaries? And so people have to begin to do some internal work and to begin to look at themselves in a mirror and to say, This is something that we're all in. It's a collective journey. What can I do?

Like, I'm done. You have to say, I'm done with it. It stops with me.
