I’ve made the choice to only write here when I’m feeling upbeat, or at least not feeling down. I think I have dwelled enough on the negative, on the bad choices I have made, and writing about these topics isn’t helping solve anything, so it is best to just let them go, at least in a blog sense. This choice has had some success and I’m getting better at it as time passes. Maybe next I can work on my run-on sentences?

I still write when I’m feeling like shit, only I keep it in a private journal now, as it should have been all along I think. Hindsight is something, isn’t it?

I’m practicing moving forward and being grateful for what I have, which beats the hell out of crying over spilt milk. It really can be as simple as framing my viewpoint differently (this is more effective sometimes than others). The thoughts that bubble up during dark times don’t deserve the light of day, they are much better left unsaid.
