Reactivity
I’m very reactive when calamity strikes. I’m working on getting better. And it’s certainly very easy to become pessimistic with how corporations control society and treat people. And I’m only talking about relatively minor things I’ve experienced as a privileged person in this country; it can only feel worse when regarding the significance of today, Juneteenth. But I think that’s the first step toward any semblance of solution. We need to be able to talk to each other without being reactive. I need to recognize when calamity isn’t actually calamity. We have to want to believe in hope, that the world can and will get better. Because it will, we will make it better. We just have to take some deep breaths, and try.
