I feel so seen! Especially about the phone alerts noises, I can relate to June Bug. One of the best small hacks I realized for myself was to just keep my phone on silent and leaving the social media spaces that feel too much. Thank you for writing this!

Yes! I do the same. Other people wonder how I can keep my phone on silent all the time, forever, but it's hard for me to imagine any other way!

I feel seen. How many times have I asked myself why can’t I be like other people, is this how everyone feels? Just today I was wondering if my dog recognizes how overwhelmed I’ve been since the election because she has been sitting on my lap for hours at a time lately. She is 55 lbs, not exactly a lap dog however I believe she knows I need more oxytocin right now.

Going to read more about the voyagers!

I have been asking “Is this how everyone feels?” my entire life! It is the reason I started beautiful voyager. I am still working to answer the question, and feel like I am getting closer to the honest truth which is “No, it is not how everyone feels, but people with your same type of brain tend to feel some of these things…and not everyone has the same brain.”
