Thank you for the shout out, Christin! And thank you for prompting me to reflect & ponder my thorny thoughts in the gentlest way.
I’ve definitely felt those funky feelings. Often, I try to pin them to a concrete cause as an attempt to rationalize them; to “problem solve” them away.
And I realize I often conflate funky feelings with emotions. And it’s relieving to now see the nuances between the two.
