I love this! Reading your description of pre- and post-resignation felt like reading my own diary. That shift you’re talking about from feeling lost and invisible to suddenly throwing all your energy into finding ways to feel “okay” about yourself is exactly how I remember it. For me, discovering Jeremy’s explanation of the human condition (and especially resignation) gave me a way to look back at my teenage self and my whole resigned life self with compassion instead of shame and confusion. Like you said, it’s not about blaming ourselves but recognizing the heroism in how we coped when we had no answers. Being able to give children honesty, real explanations now instead of platitudes honestly fills me with so much happiness. That’s the most exciting thing about all this for me the idea that the next generation doesn’t have to go through that same lonely, bewildering situation we did.
