The problem with positivity...
June 24, 2022

BE POSITIVE!
IT'LL GET BETTER!

Pretty damn positive. 

Because I do after all believe that there are good bits and bobs often hidden in everything everywhere. And it's easy to miss those when we are focused on the negative. 

Or, when we are just stressed and overwhelmed and having a hard time. 

Seeing the positive can be tough, and it helps to have those reminders, sometimes.

👉 Some things will leave scars.
👉 Some things take a long time to bounce back from.
