Such a beautiful piece! It's not a misery competition, and even though something like too small clothes can feel insignificant compared to what's going on in the world, we are still allowed to grieve.

Thank you so much for sharing this ♥️. I’ve been dreading trying on my summer shorts and knowing that I’m not alone in that feeling makes me feel just a little bit better when everything just feels difficult.

I feel the same way. Thank you for expressing it so eloquently. The irony is it’s only through the personal that we can impact the global. A bunch of unhappy people will only make the world more unhappy. But finding joy in the little things, even amongst misery, is how I believe we will make through this all.

Thank you for this. I feel like I had a very similar conversation with my therapist last week. You put it into words beautifully.

This. I felt every word of this. I am feeling the same injustices of my life more acutely because there is no such thing as good news.

Yeah, I’ve been pushing through, being a space where that part of the world doesn’t exist. 💕 It’s a lot.

A very relatable post! It applies to so many things that the world keeps turning, even in the midst of tragedy, and the things that maybe feel silly are still significant! Know you're not alone!!
