been getting kinda loose about “being busy” as an excuse. that’s usually a falsity. closer to true is “I feel overwhelmed,” which is harder to admit and feels closer to a moral fault, especially if that’s the case over and over
(needing an excuse may be its own trap too)

it's honestly feels kinda freeing. I find the first time ok. the n-th time is a lil embarrassing. like wow, yikes I'm really a mess ain't I. maybe I can just lean into it

Actually pretty great idea, being honest with yourself and others about how you feel will probably lead to yourself and others improving the situation
