My favorite thing ever is when people say that college brainwashes you into being liberal. It’s almost as if....education...gives you perspective you otherwise wouldn’t have...and teaches you to think in different ways...and see things from other people’s shoes???
My therapist dropped a gem: you can’t spend your life avoiding heartbreak or bad things from happening. You have to condition yourself to have appropriate emotional responses but learn to keep moving forward.
