Living with Integrity While the World Falls Apart. As systems break down, we need tools for inner growth. This post reframes collapse as a moment for choosing who we’re becoming.
This is easily one of the best things I have ever read, in both its honesty and vision for how to move forward. I appreciate this more than I can express.
Hannah, thank you so much. This means a great deal to me. I wrote this piece because I needed to understand what I was living through, and I'm glad it reached you.
This hit like a tuning fork. The unilevel vs. multilevel disintegration frame gave language to what so many of us are feeling—collapse with no compass vs. pain that becomes a passage. I loved how you pair rigor with practices (inner peace, refusing to add hatred, “live the future now”) so it’s not just diagnosis but direction. Bookmarked the Hillesum/Roosevelt/Peace Pilgrim thread—quiet, bracing courage. Sharing this so others know they’re not alone in the “time of monsters,” and that transformation is still on the table.
I can’t even begin to tell you how much less lonely this made me feel. Subscribed paid and posted to all my socials. Keep doing what you’re doing.
Thank you, Lindsay! Sorry I’m only now seeing this! 🙈
