What the hell…Chilly’s little spot on lit

Oh man, those days can be exhausting. Thankfully, they can sometimes also be the ones where we learn the most about ourselves. Diamonds are always formed under pressure, and you have always shown bright.
 
After all the drama I finally have a new to me car. The dealership bought the Chevy back from me and brought up a car from Anchorage for me…2021 Hyundai Santa Fe. I’m very happy with the way they corrected everything and I absolutely love the car.
Yayyyy!! After all that trouble I'm happy you have something that you like! 🥰
 
I will always tell people that their feelings are valid, as you will always feel what you feel, and there is nothing wrong with that. The question is what you do with those feelings.

Another lovely quote Chilly, thank you for sharing so many wonderful things.
 
This week in therapy we talked about passive manipulation. It’s real easy to overthink this one. For lit it’s all about why are you posting what you post. Would you post it even if no one read it? Are you posting it to get a certain reaction? And of course are you doing it for a dopamine hit.

I spent most of the session asking if I was manipulative because that’s not my intention. I questioned this thread…thought about deleting it. Ive used it as a journal for the past year, for me…and to share things I learn cause I get excited when I learn new things. My therapist kept reminding me it’s about motivation, that I’m allowed to express how I feel. But man…it’s real easy to overthink this and feel like I shouldn’t post anything.
 
That is one that I have struggled on and off with myself as well. I think I agree with your therapist in that intention is everything. (Okay, not exactly everything, as you are still responsible for your actions and how they make others feel.)

I have found at times when I come here and I am constantly spamming the refresh button hoping for that little red notification or to see how many times people have liked to post, that it is suddenly time for me to take a bit of a break. Sort of like any other form of social media.

I am happy that you continue to post here, as I find it is always a wonderful thread to drop into and always brings joy to my life, so I am grateful that you continue to, though if you need to for yourself I totally understand as well.
