I love this so much. Let me tell you - last year I moved myself into a 46th floor brand new luxury high rise apartment - "the most coveted building in new york city" filled with celebs and it was THE most miserable year of my life. I was desperately trying to turn an evil fuckboy into a boyfriend, felt isolated as fuck in that building, was killing myself to swing 6k in rent plus nearly 2k in health insurance plus ordering Seamless daily because I was so far away from stores and I was too depressed to go outside most days. Was the apartment gorgeous? Absolutely. Was I miserable? Yep. It's NEVER what it looks like online.

YES YES YES!! Finding substack has been such a solace. I was ankle deep in those IG bitches claiming to have it all. I REALLY wanted to ask them how big their credit card bill is and how long it took them to photoshop that earnings statement lol

As somebody who's "had it all" and now lives in a fancy van, having it all is overrated 🤣 also all of my undies are 4+ years old 🤠 Maybe I'll start writing about that ... anyway, what I have aaaaallways loved about you is your INNER richness. The energy you emanate. You're brilliant, funny, and courageous, Kristina. You're being divinely guided, supported, and provided for at all times in all ways. Love you

Really enjoyed reading this! <33 The part where you said why no one calls teachers or priests successful got me like damnnn!!! This article healed a lot inside of me as I think my goal-driven mindset is exactly what you mentioned, a trauma response. Thank you!!
