From the mind of critic: “If we’re so looking forward to a certain date, that we keep track of it on a calendar, and when the hoped-for outcome of success doesn’t come, we wonder if we were kidding ourselves that it would turn up roses? Did we ignore the possible bad outcomes, in favor of the good outcomes we wanted? Did we look at the good side, the bad side and even the side where nothing happens, and forget that definitions we place on the sides, completely change when looked at in a different way? Were we expecting one thing or another, and when one of those things happen, we actually feel worse because we pictured the slippery slope of what’s going to happen down the line, instead of what’s happening in front of our face? Will it lead us down the dark path we expect, or a better one we knew was possible, but only once we started walking forward? Life has millions of possibilities and even more solutions. Once they start playing out, each none forks off in another million unique ways. This causes a chaos swirl of confusion, that’ll stop us in our tracks. Our mind spins out of control, unable to cling to a positive thought. Sometimes amidst this chaos, we do see light and know it should make us happy, but the dark swirl of chaos overpowers it. This is when we have to slow down, breathe, and try to feel grateful for what we have, hang out with a friend, family member, or anybody else who can make us laugh. Maybe we listen to some good music, or hang out in a spot which brings us joy. The spinning might not stop right away, but will slow when we realize what we thought wasn’t the problem, it was how we thought it. To change outcomes, we must change mindsets. Spinning stops, when we’re grateful for opportunities. Expecting outcomes, closes us off to others. A dark swirl of chaotic confusion tastes like shit, a light mound of humanism, gratitude and accountability doesn’t. We’re only human, we must truly, love ourselves to survive.” ?
