These themes are (nearly) lifelong grapplings of mine. Thank you for sharing your wisdom Anna, for helping me feel not so alone in my frustration and confoundance. A prayer I often whisper: may we all remember how to make for the sake of process and connection.
This is a fantastic piece, Anna. I’ve been rebelling rather hard for a year—or maybe my whole life. But for this past year I’ve been mindful to not find my worth in how I participate in capitalism. It’s taken one whole to finally find a tiny bit of comfort with the ways in which I’m opting out (and making less money + not having a job that “makes sense” to most people). It was really just this month that I felt some ease set in, and with it more joy.

Gosh, I love that prayer. I will carry it with me. Thank you <3
