This is such a beautifully layered piece that really got me thinking. Thank you for writing it Lucia, and thank you for being so honest in sharing your personal story of loss and grief. Sending best wishes 🫶🏻
I really enjoyed this post, Lucia. Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I’ve been thinking a lot about these topics lately. Every experience leaves an imprint on our nervous system, and I think some events are so significant that they continue to individually and collectively shape us.
I love what you said about how the world can change overnight if we want it to. I’ve felt more disillusioned post-(acute) pandemic, seeing how some of those beautiful human qualities that we saw—community care and support—have faded within our social systems. I'll be reflecting on the prompts you shared when I journal next.
Also, I cringed when you were asked about productivity in an interview... the obsession with constant output is something I wish we’d left in pre-pandemic times. When you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or your health (as so many folks living with long COVID are), it just seems so unimportant—as if productivity is our sole value and purpose on this planet.
Hey Cait, thanks so much for the kind words, and it's nice to know that other people feel the same—disillusionment is a good way to describe it. I'd love to chat sometime, if you fancy it x
This was beautiful to read - thank you for sharing x
