Right now I'm divesting, which is a weird practice. It's not as uncomfortable as I thought it might be...getting cash for my goods can be just as helpful as having them. What's leaning on me is the idea that I might even divest my emotions, which is to say, rather than shielding and protecting myself by keeping them all in, I articulate them. Outloud. To other people. This, to me, actually feels like risking it all, more than risking homelessness and joblessness. In a culture that champions investing and investments, divesting is not just unheard of, the results haven't been projected or calculated. It's not our practice to spend our internal wealth. At what cost, though?
