Taking a long Memorial Day weekend has forced me to come to terms with the fact that I use work as a distraction from a lot of my anxiety and feelings.

And when I force myself not to work, that means I'm forced to sit with those feelings sans distraction. And it's uncomfortable.
I know a lot of other people are probably in the same boat. So this tweet is just to let you know--you're not alone.

And we're all just figuring it out. And that's ok.

And I hope you have a contemplative and restful Memorial Day with people you love who support you.
