First misc thought: digestion is a processes, as is growth. It takes time, imho, because it's organic. Your brain's gotta break everything down, same as your guts, so it can actually be used. So it makes sense to me that you'd be going through something dense pretty slowly, especially if there's a LOT to digest.
Second misc thought: the whole 'put on your own oxygen mask first' as a metaphor. You really do have to take care of yourself and it's. It's not selfish, it's just...you gotta. Idk, I consider it value neutral. You need new shoes so your feet don't get wet. It's not...there's no value judgement in that. You don't want wet feet, so you get new shoes. It's not a treat. You're not spoiling yourself. You don't have to earn it, because it is a basic requirement.
And the verso of that is that you don't deserve the punishment of wet feet. There's no valor in deprivation or suffering. Literally nobody cares that you're denying yourself, except to be worried for you and tell you not to do it. So, stop???? Friend?????
