メリル・デイヴィスさんのインスタグラム写真 - (メリル・デイヴィスInstagram)「Thanks to my sweet friends @chockolate02 & @evan_bates for nominating me for the #howareyoureally challenge put on by @mentalhealthcoalition. I know most people are recording videos but I’ve been finding writing very therapeutic lately so, here we go. ... I’ve been finding myself in a bit of an emotional ping pong game lately, to be honest. While I often experience anxiety as a result of what the world is currently facing, I promptly respond with some slight shame since I know that so many individuals across our nation & around the world are facing challenges that are much more significant or pressing than those I face on a daily basis. Still, I acknowledge that the fear for the wellbeing of my loved ones, my inability to be with my family in this difficult time (my parents are in Michigan & my brother is in San Francisco), & concern for the long-term impact of this pandemic on our global society & way of life are all very valid concerns that I’m sure many of my peers are experiencing regularly, as well. I feel weighed down by uncertainty – I’m used to living a very structured life that’s often planned months in advance. While I’m grateful for my many blessings, it’s difficult not to feel overwhelmed when considering the tragedies many are currently facing – those pertaining to personal health, financial instability, & otherwise. Lastly, I frequently feel ill when turning on the television or radio. While politics is an integral part of how our world functions, I (perhaps naively) really wish that we could do a better job of coming together as a nation & as a global community to support one another through this difficult time. * I chose to use this photo by @oniceperspectives for this post because I also very much miss the ice, the ability to express myself through skating, & the wonderful community of people in skating – many of whom are like family. Thank you to the @mentalhealthcoalition for encouraging this important conversation & to Madison & Evan for the nomination. I nominate @amypurdygurl, @laurengores, @jennajohnson & @Candacecbure – How are you, really?」5月24日 8時22分
