Mishnah Kelim 25:4-5 · Beginner voice, Standard

Hook

Have you ever felt like you are living two different lives at the same time? Perhaps you have a polished, professional "outer" face that you present to your boss, your neighbors, or your social media followers. Meanwhile, on the "inside," you might feel like a bit of a chaotic mess, trying to keep your anxiety, your unfinished laundry, and your burnt toast from spilling over into your public identity.

It is a deeply human struggle to manage our boundaries. We constantly try to figure out how much of our messy outer world we should let into our quiet inner spaces, and how much of our inner selves we should expose to the elements.
