I absolutely love this so much because I couldn't relate to it more. Almost the entire time I was reading it I was thinking to myself about how I'm constantly spiralling over the tiniest things too and it like takes over my entire mind when it really didn't need to. All I needed to do was just give it a little time. All that to say this feels like a really healthy way of looking at things and putting them into perspective <3

I feel like you just unlocked a part of my brain omg. Definitely gonna use this going forward. Because you're right, two weeks is a short amount of quantitative time but it's a long amount of emotional time 🤔!!!

THANK YOU <3 i’m glad this is so relatable. i feel like it’s so easy for us to get stuck and held up over small things, when there’s so much to be grateful for and so much more to focus on
