Just something I’ve noticed recently. Everyone I’ve spoken to who is going through a tough time or emotional struggle is really quick to qualify it with ‘it’s nothing compared to what some people are going through’
While it’s good to take stock and put your situation into context, and focus on the positives, let’s all be kinder to ourselves and allow ourselves to struggle?
None of us know what it’s like to go through a pandemic, and there aren’t rules for how we should cope. If it feels like something disturbing, scary and unsettling is happening, it’s because it really is.
And while we are all in it, in different ways, it doesn’t mean your own struggles don’t count. Only you know how you feel. And it’s valid.
Just something I’ve been thinking. That’s it!
