Dear sugar is supported by.
The universe has good news for the lost, lonely, and heartsick.
Sugar is here, the both of us speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
I'm Steve Almond.
This is dear sugar radio.
Oh, dear song, won't you please share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell vibes every day.
Oh, and the sugar you send my way.
Hi, Steve.
Hi, Cheryl.
How are you?
Well, I'm good, but I have to say that I went into a bit of a spiral reading the letters that we're gonna talk about this week.
Yeah, a lot of the letters, I mean, we get letters about all kinds of subjects from all kinds of people.
And sort of the common thing is everybody's in some state of struggle.
But often, I would say the vast majority of the time, it's a self inflicted wound, or at least partially self inflicted.
That is, people suffering from decisions that they've made or want to make or can't make, that somehow reside within their locus of control.
And there's something about that that's, of course, maddening, but there's also the fact that you have some control over that.
And the letters that we considered this week are really chilling because they are about people who suffer misfortune, and those.
Misfortunes are more long term and maybe even permanent.
