1. When does it get easier?
2. I should go for a walk.
3. I’m tired.
4. I’m always fucking tired!
5. I want to buy something…
6. [Orders a tarot deck]
7. I mean, if I add up all the alcohol I no longer drink and all the cigarettes I no longer smoke, it’s about the same… right?

15. I’m jealous of [name redacted]’s book deal. Wow, where did that come from?
16. Is it jealousy or envy? What am I making it mean?
17. I could write a book again. Or could I? Could I?? Do I even have the bandwidth?

Oh wow. The idea of connecting with, loving and healing the 30-something and even 40-something me. Never thought of that. It’s deep. It’s necessary. Thank you for bringing that up. I love that you’re going to talk more about it in the upcoming course. Thank you. I love these “Thoughts from this morning” posts. I can relate to many of those thoughts and also, it helps me unravel some of my own thoughts. “Borrowing” your word there. 🥰
Some of my thoughts in the morning are similar to yours, as I understand you. Every time I try to get up, I think, "I'm tired", "I don't want to", "What am I in for? Let me sleep", "I need to do... [THE LIST IS ENDLESS]." And a host of other thoughts.
