So grateful for the life of Brooke Eby. She passed October 1 and I hate ALS. I won't get sobby because Brooke would not have liked that, so I will say F ALS and Brooke, you were hilarious and vivacious and amazing! #als #brookeeby

PS: I wrote this without AI. Substack ran a program to check that and said I had "a little help from AI", and I guess it's because I used an em dash. Tar and feather me, lol.

My therapist told me we evolved to look for the bad things and that's how we survived. So, now, even though we don't need to do that, we still experience that automatic response and that's why anxiety happens. "Anxious people survived" is what she said.
