I'm so lucky.

I can know practically anything in a matter of seconds.
I can speak with practically anyone in the world.
I am married to my dream partner...
...She also happens to be a world-class musician who writes songs about me. I wouldn't change a thing about her. I love you, Jude.
I have enough money to do anything I want to do.
I am living in the home of my dreams.
I have clean water 24 hours a day.
I have consistently working electricity.
I have a community system I can count on for emergencies of any type.
I have three day weekends, every weekend.
I have no debt.
I am at a socially desirable weight.
I have complete use of my body.
There is a cat sitting right next to me.
I can listen to any music I want, at any time.
I go to the beach at least once a month.

I don't know what you are thinking right now.

Maybe you are angry or jealous.
Maybe you are surprised.
Maybe you don't care.

Maybe you'd be surprised to learn other things about me.

Like...
...I'm supposed to separate work life from home life, but I sometimes can't stop thinking about my most vulnerable patients. They keep me awake some nights.

Like...
...I just fired my therapist.

Like...
...there are things I can't talk about right now, because I'm going through a rape trial.

And...
...I'm embarrassed that though my life is so privileged, I still have bouts of intense depression.

And...
...that I have narcolepsy and PTSD, and I'm trying to figure out how to treat those effectively. I've made impressive progress. I'm proud of myself.

And...
...I just laid around all day, wrapped in a quilt from my god sister. Love you, Becky. 

I think we never quite know what is going on with someone else. Even when we think we know...
...We probably don't.

Please be kind out there.
