Our title today comes from Ay-Shay (an African musician) from her song “The Way I Feel” whose words really struck me this week, some of the other lines from this song are:

I feel like I'm not the only one who's frustrated

I feel like something's goin' wrong, I can't escape it

Now the world is on fire

- Asa, The Way I Feel
