TQHC: What is weighing on your mind most right now?

An introduction to The Quiet Hours Community

Welcome to the first post of The Quiet Hours Community (TQHC)! This will be a weekly post for those of you who are craving community the way I am. To protect this space and those who are willing to be vulnerable within it, each of these posts are reserved for paid subscribers to TQH. It’s just $3/month to join us (or $30/year) because, in general, trolls don’t pay to troll. But don’t worry, my regular weekly Tuesday essays will continue to be free.

Already a paying subscriber? You’re automatically in the TQHC! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It seems fitting to start with where we each are right now in asking what is on your mind. From the beginning of the year, 2025 has just felt HARD. No matter where you stand on political issues, we’ve seen some catastrophic things happen this year beginning with the LA fires, leading up to the Texas floods just last week. So if you’re feeling a little… off this year, that seems pretty normal to me. Let’s kick off these community posts with talking about where we are, mentally.

I’ll go first.
