Learned about something called a "glimmer" recently. It's the opposite of a trigger. A tiny moment that makes you feel good. Coffee hitting right. Sun on your face. Your dog losing its mind when you walk in the door. Most of us are trained to scan for threats all day. Flip that. Start scanning for glimmers. Same exact life starts feeling completely different.
i hope you learn to stop apologizing for the doors you closed on people who couldn’t be trusted with the keys. their feelings about being on the other side of that door are theirs to sit with, not yours to fix.
