Dear Neighborhood Therapist,
It seems like things are going back to
normal quickly and I’m not sure I’m ready
for it. I was lucky enough to be able to work
from home, and now I find myself rushing
to do things that I promised myself I would
do during the pandemic and feeling like I
have “nothing to show” for all this time at
home. I didn’t clean the garage, renovate
anything, or read an encyclopedia. Looking
back, it’s hard to actually think of anything
I accomplished, and I cannot figure out how
that happened. I feel like I should have done
so much more, and I feel like a loser because
of it. Is there something wrong with me?

Dear Am I Lazy,
It’s tempting, isn’t it, to think that if we
had a year to work from home we would be
able to dedicate countless hours to self and

home improvement? With no commute, no
restaurants or bars or concerts or museums
or classes to go to, and nowhere to travel, we
could finally get to all those projects we’ve
been putting off. Cleaning out the garage.
Organizing the closet. Throwing out old
clothes. Learning to play the guitar.
We internalize productivity from a young
age, to a point that we feel in our bones that
mere survival is never enough. We feel that
we must constantly optimize, increase our
output, and get bigger and better. Because
idleness is one of our dominant culture’s
worst transgressions, we tend to feel even
when that idleness is forced upon us.
So no, there is nothing at all wrong with
you. What you are feeling is what a lot of us
are feeling: the anxiety created when our lived
experience does not fall in line with what we
think our culture expects from us. The fact

Homeless Housing
at Our Beaches
Have you heard about something that Bonin
is trying to get passed that will allow him to
place homeless RVs and temporary housing to
place homeless? Really devastating since we all
have been feeling safe walking or biking the
paths thru Dockweiler and El Segundo beaches
- we’ve never had to feel unsafe and never
see homeless at our beaches - lots of families
go there! I see crime daily at the Westchester
Park and we hear about homeless killing people
everyday - we need to fight against this! I
haven’t found original documents but a person
posted this on Facebook community today.

Dear El Segundoans,
The Herald staff and I
only know so many El
Segundoans, but we want
to learn about more of
you. With 8,000 residents,
we’re sure there are
some gems we may have
overlooked or not been
aware of them. Do you
have an interesting friend,
neighbor or student? With
most of El Segundo sports
and events on hold, we
are looking to do more
El Segundo residents’
profiles. All you have to
do is ask their permission
and send us their contact
information. Of course,
if you find yourself
fascinating, send us your
information too.
– Best to you all. HM.
