Absolutely brillaint piece. That distinction between Clarence offering context rather than consolation really shifts how we can approahc those moments of self-doubt. I've noticed in my own work that when things get financially tight, the first thing to dissolve is any sense of cumulative impact. But worth existing before resolution makes total sense because otherwise we'd be constantly re-evaluating ourselves based on shifting conditions.
That erosion of cumulative impact under financial pressure is exactly the phenomenon I was trying to name. When conditions tighten, perspective often collapses first.
Also your reflection on the point about worth existing before resolution feels essential: if worth were contingent on circumstances, we’d never be stable enough to respond wisely to change. I appreciate you articulating that so clearly.

Thank you for this—beautifully put.
