Instead, we can acknowledge that when one part of our life improves, it radiates out to everything else. When we achieve something, we are better equipped for the future. Life tends to gradually get better as we keep working on it; it only gets worse if we accomplish something then shut down because we are afraid of our own power.This happens because of downplaying. We unconsciously try to downplay the magnitude of our successes and achievements because there are two aspects to success that are in direct opposition to our fundamental needs to feel as though we still have a lot left to do and to be liked by others. The idea of having “made it” makes us afraid that we are reaching the pinnacle and therefore will fall off of it. If we acknowledge that we’ve arrived, what goals remain? It is a feeling akin to death, so we instead find another measure to work toward.Sometimes I feel relaxed about the drought; I picture myself going on long walks, knitting, reading novels and generally leading the life of a person who has never had to worry about money. Then I remember I really do have to worry about money.

I don’t know what to write because I do not feel connected to anything at the moment. I worry I would be cheating editors out of money by writing about politics, given that what they usually pay for is at least a degree of insider knowledge. The only contact I have had with members of Parliament in the past month is when one MP messaged me to say he had found one of my tweets funny. I have no insider knowledge anymore. Maybe I should take the money anyway.

Though so many of us long for the moment when we feel as though we have finally arrived and achieved the measures of success we so deeply desire, we often receive them only to then feel as though they aren’t that great, impressive, or that they don’t make us feel as good as we thought they would.

Am I a journalist or the story? Gonzo style blurs the boundaries by default. I don’t mind being a character in my own work, but I don’t want to be mere spectacle either. Some sideshow act, a professional damsel in distress.

It did not happen. I kept walking until I reached Soho. Soho didn’t help either. Instead, I threw myself into a vague project two friends and I have started discussing. As far as I can tell, they are treating it as a potentially interesting long shot which they can ponder when they get a moment away from their full-time job. I, meanwhile, have been approaching it with the intensity of someone told they must invent time travel in a week in order to save humanity.

I have considered approaching more editors and tweeting more about being open to commissions, but I worry about the fine line between bravado and desperation. Someone who clearly really wants to have sex with you is good; someone who clearly really wants to have sex with you or anyone or two pillows sellotaped to one another is not. I worry the same goes for writing.

Keeping a diary isn’t just for kids. Writing your thoughts in a journal can also help grown-ups deal with their stress and anxiety. Studies show that journaling can help you heal from trauma, strengthen your immune system, and even increase your IQ!

These exhibitions serve a purpose. Yet modern activism so often consists of only exhibition: petty drama by bit players while the forces that mobilize these small people build and crest unabated. JD loses his job, but far right xenophobia and rage continue to permeate the American consciousness. The Overton Window relentlessly shifts.

The same problem marred and perhaps doomed Portland’s protests this summer as well. A police station’s glass doors shatter during a direct action, but the police unions that protect cops from anything resembling accountability remain very much intact. “Windows can be repaired,” activists often say when taken to task for property damage, but isn’t that also an argument against the efficacy of breaking them? With your brick you demand justice, but the nature of that demand presupposes the existence of the very system that will continue to produce injustice long after the window is repaired.Likewise, when we are around other people, we do not stand firmly in our pride because we are taught it is a bad thing (and when done in an unhealthy way, it is). What we are sensing is the feeling of being “better than” others because we have achieved something. This makes us uncomfortable because we know it’s both untrue and unkind.When we downplay our own successes in life, we are either trying to make ourselves seem less impressive so others do not feel threatened and therefore like us more, or we are trying to avoid the sense that we have “made it,” because we are afraid of peaking.

It is hard to explain but I am both incredibly stressed and incredibly relaxed about money. I know I’m in a dicey financial situation but purchases no longer feel real; I make them without thinking about the impact they will have on the aforementioned dicey financial situation. In the past fortnight I bought a big cactus for £35 and a big ceramic pot to put the big cactus in for £21. It was both irresponsible and inconsequential, depending on the mood I’m in.

In 2012, Nicole Russell’s mother became a foster parent to a four-year-old girl who suffered from severe night terrors, something not uncommon for children dealing with the foster system or homelessness. Witnessing the experience of her little sister gave Russell a radical idea.

The systemic dangers America faces have seldom been larger than they are now. A wave of exponential, uncontrolled COVID crashes down upon us. Hot on its heels comes the mental hazards of social isolation and the material catastrophe of widespread economic crisis. Evictions. Job loss. Hunger. Physical, mental, and emotional impoverishment. All the while, the effects of climate change slither, slow and enormous, onto the stage.

I am aware that I should make the most of the flexibility freelancing gives me, so I have been thinking about what to write about that isn’t politics. I am furious I don’t have a live-in partner, children or pets — not because they would keep me company, but because I could milk them for content. I eye my plants suspiciously. Could I write about them? Could I write about my lamp? Could I write about the myriad of ailments I have diagnosed myself with? Like a funny list?

The reality is that we are able to acknowledge and appreciate other people’s diverse accomplishments and talents while still being happy about our own. Instead of shrugging off a compliment, we can respond by saying: “Thank you, I worked very hard, and I’m happy to be here.”

If the fear is that we are “peaking” too soon, we have to reform our idea of progress. We do not get better, only to get worse again. We do not achieve one thing, only to lose it and return to what we were before. That instinct is a self-sabotaging behavior, one that wants to keep us within our old comfort zone.
I like reporting because it is fundamentally quite lazy; you just have to find an interesting topic then find some people to tell you about it. I don’t mind the idea of more personal writing but I don’t know how to go about it. Should I write about my insomnia? The fact that my bathtub is too small? It would be easier if things were happening to me.
“The thought of half a million children navigating the foster care system who might not have a teddy bear to hold on to or a parent to run to in the next room just didn’t sit right with me,” Russell told ZORA. In partnership with her mom, she started the Precious Dreams Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping children cope with fear and anxiety in healthy ways. “The number one tool that we promote is journaling. If a child doesn’t have someone to talk to, they can use that journal to express those emotions or thoughts onto paper at night but it can also help them with just processing how they’re feeling with things changing from day to day.”

I have been doing a lot of budgeting; in a way, arranging and rearranging the little lumps of money I have and will receive from the state feels more like my job than my job does. Should this £75 go towards my 2022 holiday fund? Complement my salary in May 2021 when the Treasury stops funding my life? Be used to make my flat a little bit nicer, given how much time I spend there now? I guess I’ll have to take the afternoon off to think about it. I just can’t take these decisions lightly.
