“The writers Cheryl Strayed and Steve Almond had a podcast called Dear Sugars. On one episode, a woman had written in seeking their advice, asking if her reaction to a painful situation had been wrong. Almond did not respond directly. Instead he said: ‘reading the letters we receive, I’m always struck by how much, and how quickly, people convert their pain into self-loathing.’ This stopped me cold.” – Sarah Krasnostein, The Believer
