i saw a TikTok about a girl saying how she doesn't stay mad for long because either she's going to figure it out, or there's nothing that can be done about it. and as simple as that sounds is as simple as it is really
i saw a quote that said, "if you don't clear your misunderstandings in time, they become the reason for permanent distance." and that's realest shit ever.
one great thing is seeing yourself get better at emotional regulation. It's like yay i'm acting different in challenging situations and not allowing temporary emotions throw me off course.
