When I’m filled with emotion, I have this trick I do to calm myself down. I type out all the feelings being held in, every single little bit of it, then I backspace it all. Then I type again, though this time about how good I’ve got it, how lucky I am to have the life that I do, and how completely selfish and ungrateful I was just a minute ago typing up all that I deleted, and then I also delete this one.

It’s on impulse that I want to write about the bad and negatives in my life when they appear, but my life as it already is, is so great and I should be thankful for it. I am very thankful.
