Negativity

There is so much negativity out there. How are fragile minds supposed to heal or be less fragile if everything gets twisted until it becomes bad? Everything is overanalyzed these days and interpreted this way or that.

I refuse to add to that. We all know, I shared a lot of negative thoughts on here too. And let’s be honest, my poetry is not the uplifting kind either. Then again, it is part of me and my “condition”. I never pretend to be someone I am not. You get what you see. I am too lazy to lie. I don’t trust people enough to reveal everything about me. I am just me.

There are moments when the negativity online gets too much for me and I choose to stay quiet and not comment on it. It’s better that way, for sure. There are moments when the negativity triggers me in such ways that I have to make a conscious choice to look the other way for fear of returning to old self-sabotaging and self-harming patterns. Sometimes, it is hard work being me.

I follow a guy on Twitter who only writes negative comments – I guess he thinks it is funny. It isn’t, it is annoying. And I wonder if it is worth calling him out on it. But then I come to my senses and realise that it wouldn’t change much and it would make him feel bad on top. And so, I stay silent. At least for now.

Last month, I posted daily. This month, a week had passed and I did not feel the urge to write or to share much. But, I am still here. I am still around.

And if I happened to have your attention, I want to share a link with you. It will lead you to my short stories and flash fiction. There is some good stuff in there. And some awful ones too. There you go: https://micqu.org/category/short-stories/

Keep light and music in your heart ❤️

Have a nice week
