I trust my bad moments less than I used to

Dear Delyara, That may be one of the biggest changes in me. I still have bad moments. Still have anxious ones, low ones, thin-skinned ones, “everything feels too much” ones. But I trust them less as narrators. I no longer assume a bad hour predicts a bad life. I no longer believe every harsh thought that arrives dressed like truth. I no longer give difficult moments the automatic right to define the whole day. That doesn’t make me invincible. It makes me less easily captured. And that feels like real progress.
