He wrote: “You’re busier than ever, dealing w more pressure than ever, and it’s okay if you’re feeling brand new at life, it’s okay if you’re a bit reactive. Just noticing the part of myself that’s crying out for my own attention.
“So I’m just laughing at all my gorgeous personality and showing myself some kindness & compassion.”
Van Ness added: “If you’re having that day too, hope this helps, if not replace all that essay w something like, Slay your week henny!”
