What I really hate about being fed up with myself (a mood) is that it does no good.
The world is filled with people who do so much harm.
There's so much harm that needs us leaning into proactive care and grace.
So when I can't snap out of unbridled fury with myself - for existing, for existing imperfectly, for having failed to fix parts of me that get so easily exploited to greater harm - it's just ego cranked to 11.
I need it down to a nice sedate 3 or 4 again. Working on that dial today. 🤞🏻
Thank you for saying so, Matt.
May you be as gentle with yourself as you can, in those moods - and may they pass as swiftly as they arise.
@MLClark Same. Yelling at or shaming myself does no good. It just makes me want to do stupid things to feel better. Which don't work.
