April Fool’s Day

So today is one of those annual days where we scour the news trying to unpick what is true and what is nonsense.

In the era of fake news, many of us already have our critical faculties activated to look out for this fake stuff anyway.

Which makes me think, what fake stuff do we have going on in our own lives? We have our own way of presenting ourselves to the world. When people ask how we’re doing, we automatically say “I’m fine” without much recourse to the truth of our inner lives.

Is our job really fine?

Are our families really doing well?

How are our finances coping with today’s ridiculous cost of living increase?

We can really benefit from having a safe space to say, “actually, thing’s aren’t all that great, I could do with a bit of help with….”

What’s your April’s fool?
