Orlando I am sorry that you have been having a turbulent past few years. I know there is not much I can do to help other than pay for my subscription to your substack, so that is what I do :)

Also, if it makes you feel any better, the old Clare Field Trip green you had before was the exact shade of green I was looking for my home office! I have been searching for just the right shade of olive / dark green and this seems to fit the bill. I am going to order a sample. If it ends up being the shade I choose to paint the entire room, I will send you a picture. I am a big fan of yours and when I read your content, I feel like I know you. It sounds creepy, but believe me, it is not. You do a good job of conveying your feelings and emotions here, so it helps us understand you. Thanks! August (from Hoboken, NJ)

I went through a phase a few years ago - a beige phase. I was low, low, low and not doing well mentally.

I'm baaaack now, baby and my life is full of splooshes of colour! Yaay!

Orlando, you ARE OKAY.

You are experiencing not feeling okay about your life at the moment.

It's like saying "I'm hungry" when we're experiencing hunger.

We are not hunger - we're experiencing hunger, right?

"I'm tired" vs I'm feeling tired.

"I'm scared" vs I'm feeling tired now.

Feel the feels, but don't allow them to become your being.

With love,

Rusty 🥰
