Thank GOODNESS that was an Aaliyah reference, nothing like finding your people ☺️ also, what an accurate depiction of what depression feels like, like you’re down because (among other things) you aren’t being productive and you’re not productive because you’re down and it’s very chicken vs. egg/race to the bottom. If it’s any consolation, being your authentic self on the internet and sharing your experiences with us all (both up and down) and reminding us how universal these feelings are is so important to so many.

I’m sorry to hear that the last few months have been hard. I hope things continue to get better ❤️ “Once you start, you start” -- and that’s the damn truth. Going to carry that one in my pocket going forward.

A+ for the title of this week’s newsletter!

I’m sorry you’ve been depressed. I’m glad to see you’re feeling like you’re coming out of it. Routines really help me with that too and I always feel the most put together when I do my evening skincare routine. Like I can conquer the world. I like your quote from Drunk Sarah. Powerful words!
