6.22.20 // This is me

This is me.
.
A curious, "recovering" philosopher.
.
Someone who is sometimes so overwhelmed by the chronic overthinking and questioning of life's big and small questions that it leaves me anxious, paralyzed, and exhausted.
.
But, I'm not complaining, my ability to think, to question, and to deeply feel is a privilege.
.
I have space, time, and resources to do so.
.
I have a Philosophy Degree from my time in college, I have resources that allow me to work remotely, and I am an able-bodied person.
.
Does that privilege negate my feelings of anxiety, paralysis, or exhaustion? No. But, it offers me perspective. Perspective is a horizon widening, splash of water to the face, that I think we forget about when we move about our day-to-day.
.
Does perspective negate my feelings of anxiety, paralysis, or exhaustion? No. But it sure as hell gives me more clarity, movement, and energy to move forward to keep thinking and to keep asking the tough questions.
