• Something genuinely good happened today and I noticed I just kept it to myself and moved on
• This thing that happened still sits in me like a loose, raw piece that never got stitched into the rest of my life
• Something genuinely good happens and I just sit on it
• When the people I love share good news, I half-listen and give a flat "that’s nice" before moving on
• When everything fell apart, a few people really showed up for me and we got so much closer
