This one’s a deep breath in the middle of the chaos. I’m talking about the myth of tariffs, the pressure of always doing, and that quiet craving to disappear for a bit—mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It’s not just about politics or burnout, it’s about what happens when we start questioning everything we’ve been told to chase. Just a soft check-in with some scattered thoughts, a little clarity, and maybe a shift in perspective.
