IT'LL GET BETTER!
YOU'LL GET OVER IT!
The messages are everywhere. See the good. Ignore or push away the bad. Move onward and upward!
And I'm often one of those voices.
My Throwback Thursday podcast on May 19th was to a post from January 2021 that was my argument that you are worthy. You are worthy of love, of friendship, of compassion.
Pretty damn positive.
Because I do after all believe that there are good bits and bobs often hidden in everything everywhere. And it's easy to miss those when we are focused on the negative.
Or, when we are just stressed and overwhelmed and having a hard time.
Seeing the positive can be tough, and it helps to have those reminders, sometimes.
--
Sometimes, though, positive messages have a negative effect.
Humans are at their best when they experience a wide range of emotions in life. O'erweening positivity can deny the validity of many not-so-positive emotions and minimize the human experience.
π Some things just wholly and completely suck.
π Some things are terrible, sad, horribly unfair, and not at all good.
π Some things will leave scars.
π Some things take a long time to bounce back from.
