QUOTE from Harper's Bazaar. March 2024 "Solange" issue:

“‘Being’ well, doesn’t necessarily mean ‘feeling’ well all the time, like the difference between happiness and contentment. We want to go for something sustainable, not chase a shiny cure. As a graduate of much therapy, I can attest to a frustration with the concept of ‘self-love.’ For so many years I was like, ‘Hmm, that sounds awesome, but how?’ It seemed like a science fiction to get to self-love from the places I’d been. I spent years just working to attain a neutral relationship with myself just like, ‘I’m here. I’m safe.’ 

If some days you can only attain beingness, rather than ‘wellness,’ that’s perfectly fine.”
