Nearly every one of these videos has a specific moment that hits me really hard -- and even though it's heavy, it always feels better to have heard it. "I'm in fairly intense emotional distress a good deal of the time" -- I think of this often, when I'm unhappy with where I'm at, when I'm frustrated with how much work it takes for me to maintain a baseline that seems like a default to others, when I'm upset that I'm not doing better. How amazing it is, where I am now, considering what I carry with me. I've accomplished so much, especially considering how much of my time doesn't feel like my own. It's like the famous quote, "I only regret that I have but one like to give to this content."
Hey Adam, just started watching this series and wanted to say thank you. I resonate a lot with your struggles and its comforting to know I am not alone.
