I felt slightly guilty for a few minutes and then I realised that she needs a wake up call. I get at least one day a week when I really struggle, can't digest or cope with the current situation and just want to curl up in a ball and hide from the world. I don't though, I roll with it and just do the bare minimum and congratulate myself for making it through another day in lock down (in Ireland we're 2 weeks in to a 6 week shut down).
Here's what I also do, I practice Gratitude. I remind myself that I'm surrounded by people who love me, live in a beautiful home, bills paid and food on the table. Most importantly though I'm grateful for my health and that of my loved ones. I don't take to social media to garner sympathy or to brag about purchases that others may be struggling to comprehend right now when putting food on the table is a priority.
She could have approached all this differently. Instead of making the vlog all about herself, she could have really reached out and offered support /ideas and tips. She could have encouraged people to dm her, once she had developed a sense of the person, she could have offered an email address to chat, then possibly a WhatsApp group where strangers could connect and not feel so lonely. Maybe even set up a private Facebook group for her subscribers. Nope, not our Kate, she made the whole vlog about her and barely validated anyone else's feelings. That's why I don't feel guilty now.
