The creator and the lead actress of ‘Girls,’ Lena Dunham said through Instagram that she intended to establish a community around being “well enough.” In order to open up about the issue, Dunham posted a gif of herself, from an episode of the series, ‘Girls,’ with a subtitle that reads “I’m not being too much, I’m being just enough.”
One of the most influential people in the world, Dunham wrote along with the gif:
“Even before this pandemic started, I’ve wanted to build a community around being “well enough”.
Then the Emmy Award-nominated actress and writer explained what the word, “wellness” mean for herself:
“Wellness for the imperfectly able-bodied. Wellness is a word we throw around a lot nowadays, but for each and every one of us, it means something so specific and different. Honestly… Each day it means something different for me, each hour. Sometimes, I feel well enough to get dressed up in a hot pink blazer and learn a Tik Tok dance. Other days, I only feel well enough to get out of bed for food, water, and Ingrid cuddles.”
The ‘Tiny Furniture’ creator Dunham, who also stated a few days before that she had experienced COVID-19, concluded her words as follows:
“Being just enough for you is all that you can ask for, and it’s all that can be asked of you… Especially today in this global pandemic. If any positivity can come out of this mess, it’s that we should all hold way more space for one another to be imperfect and to be #wellenough.”
