one of the most valuable things I've learned in the past while is that emotions don't have to make logical sense

i used to beat myself up over feeling sad or angry, asking myself "why am i feeling this way, it doesn't make any sense, I should be happy"

all this did for me was make me feel even worse and extend those feelings even longer, almost creating a loop of "I'm angry, i shouldn't be angry, now I'm even angrier"

now that I've come to terms with these things it's become so much easier just to care for myself

when im angry or sad I just listen to how im feeling and not try to super analyze it, and that's helped me so much, both as a competitor and as just a human being

i know this is different than most of my content but ive been thinking about it a lot and wanted to put it out there
