I elected to contribute about as much to my limited use FSA1 as I spent at my optometrist last year. But...my current glasses are still working fine.
So guess who just bought six pairs of cheap colorful glasses from an online retailer?
a bank account only usable for vision and dental, where if I don't spend it by the end of the year I lose the money2
yes, non-Americans, this is a real thing
as a person who always feels like they're never doing enough, somehow, despite anything i'm trying to take on, this answer hits. it draws out the implicit connection between "i am not enough" -> "i am not enough, which is why i am not doing enough right now" -> "if i do more, maybe i can be enough".1
yanyi takes such a huge question and distills the answer so succinctly; it's nice. find out where and when you are valued and feel valued (the reciprocity here is necessary!), then keep putting yourself in that spot.
if you want to read more of yanyi's answers from this Q&A, they're nicely compiled into a PDF here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XAtA8psuNl1KEPsgMeMU-Lqz0Xa4jT88/view

"enough" doesn't look like a real word right now
