Most of us move through the world on autopilot. Someone asks how you are. You say fine. That's the contract. https://x.com/PerellClips/status/2062693804323541439 Ada Limón on what happens when you finally stop:

  1. "There's a way in which we move through the world and someone says, how are you? And we say fine. And that's the contract.
  2. But when you are alone, you will think: what is happening to me?
  3. You'll recognize what you are grieving, and that it is there, and that it is part of you, and that you've been carrying it."
