Thank you for this. It resonated so much and you made a point that’s worth repeating. There’s tremendous value in providing (and consuming) content that brings comfort. So many of us struggle with juggling empathy and self-care. It feels out of touch to not address the heaviness but being mired in it is not helping anyone either. There’s a balance to be found and the lighter comfort side helps provide that balance. Btw I rewatched GG with my daughter recently and it was awesome.

Absolutely. I think this is why readers like me have 4 books going at any given moment. Sometimes it's a moment for deep learning on a substantive topic. Sometimes it's a moment for self-care and a book that makes you smile. Hope your writing is going well these days!
