The random musings of an autistic bridgetender with entirely too much time on her hands.

Sanitizing My Sanity

October 13, 2019

I need to stop letting certain things get to me.

I need to stop letting certain things get to me. To wit:

Situations over which I have absolutely no control.
Stupid people who are in love with their own stupidity.
Stress surrounding arbitrary deadlines that I’ve imposed upon myself.
The endless pursuit of nonexistent seals of approval.
The fear of missing out.
Bitterness regarding the unchangeable past.
Anxiety regarding the unknowable future.
My inability to feel as though I fit in.
My weight, which will most likely never change.
My appearance. Same.
My frustration over constantly being misunderstood.
My inability to get others to care about the things that I care about.
The secrets that I know are being kept from me.
My failure to convince people of the potential that I know that they have.

I need to wash all these things away. I need to sanitize my sanity.

Focus on this thought: Right now, in this moment, I have and I am enough. If it doesn’t feel true… why? Distracting oneself with external negativity is usually a sign you’ve an inner truth you need to face. It’s what I’ve found when I’m letting things get to me in spite of the good there is in my life. Then again, you could just be reacting to the negative energy some idiots expose you to. Either way, I hope you find some inner peace.
