I get that people can hurt our feelings. And I also get that we need to tell people that what they’re doing hurts our feelings. And then I also get that often times people will keep on doing those things regardless of what we’ve said.

That’s just par for the life course. Our jobs are simply to speak up for ourselves and then get on with our lives, changing course as needed, and so on.

But what’s frustrating to me is when I wake up and the shit’s still on my mind. That’s the worst.

“Just get over it already” plays on loop in my head.

This really speaks to how I just can’t use formulas to navigate life. I can know all the answers and do all the right things but I still have to feel my feelings.

Happy April Fools!
