Just trying to stay positive. You guys give me good reason. Still hard to do in this type of world though.

@ErickaSimone It's okay if sometimes you can't be. I find that giving myself permission to wallow in the reality of the bad for a set period of time (usually minutes, an hour tops per session) makes it easier to return to the positive.
Being relentlessly positive is exhausting. Especially when a wider situation is not positive.

@otherryn people make me feel nihilistic when I point out reality. It’s exhausting.

@ErickaSimone It is. I hope you can find slivers of rest from the exertion of discovering who has empathy and who is too protective of their ego.
