Resonate with this! “I don’t want to shut the world out, but I’m having trouble bearing reality’s white-hot intensity at the moment. I want to learn to strategically modulate it so I can handle what’s to come.” What’s to come cannot even be imagined! And will require more than one summer’s effort to adapt by avoiding.
Thank you for this. It’s been top of mind for me as well in finding ways to regulate my time so I don’t end up bitter or cognitively burnt out. I’ve recently left a couple left wing group chats with the thought that my action is what resonates - I’ll show up, but I don’t need to be talking about it constantly.
