Episode Synopsis


Your own experience of the world is not invalid.The emotions you feel are very much realThere is no bubble that is more real than any otherNo possible interference of anything but a real experienceIt is not only they who have it worst who has a right to complainAnyone can feel depression or anxiety or pain or PTSDAnd yet, we must also, as always, acknowledge the inverseWe must be kind, not terse; whether or not our friend has it worseSee, when I look worldwide at the struggles other humans faceI can't help but feel bad for complaining about how I feel sadAs if the sheer resilience and courage so many manage to showMeans I should refrain from the response due to chemicals in my brainI am not saying don't feel sorry for them. I'm not encouraging apathyGo out and make a difference, join every indifference resistanceMerely saying that it's also ok for you to cry and laugh, if you needYou are always permitted to feel, that your experience is real.
