It's so easy for things that are long gone to stop us from loving what is right here. We hold ourselves back, afraid that the past will repeat itself. When someone's actions or words trigger negative emotions within us, it can lead to stress, anxiety, or even depression if left unchecked. However, it's important to understand that we have agency over our own mental health. We can't control how others behave, but we can control how we respond to their behavior. This is where mindfulness becomes invaluable. By taking a step back and acknowledging our feelings, we create space for rational thought and perspective. We can ask ourselves questions like, "Why am I feeling this way?" or "Is this person's behavior really about me, or is it more about them?" There are many ways to deal with these emotions so it's important to practice what works for you. How do you deal with past anger and pain especially when given the opportunity to love and caretake?
Also, I'm so grateful for all of you and would love to get to know you all better outside of The Mighty, so if you're on Instagram, feel free to reach out at:

~ Thanks to all. Thanks for all. ~
Speaking of thanks for all, I was hoping we could acknowledge everyone who comments below. I know it seems like a small gesture, but many people here have never opened up to anyone before and being open and honest with strangers can be quite scary. So, if we could show our gratitude by giving their comment a simple reply or heart, I’m sure they would really appreciate your team support. What do you say?
