loudly going “YOU’RE GOOD YOU’RE GOOD” to myself to ward off the memory of every embarrassing thing i’ve ever done
I actually learned a fun therapy trick for this!
The statute of limitations on arson is 6 years.
So whenever I remember an embarrassing or shameful thing I’ve done, I ask myself if it was worse than arson. If it wasn’t, and it was 6 or more years ago, I forgive myself.
Also just the comedic shock of going “well, that was a stupid and mean thing I said, but 6 years is the statute of limitations on arson” helps.
You know what? Not mad at this logic. Will need to give it more thought.
🤔
yeah but op made the post in 2023 so it’s going to expire soon
hahaha
…there’s only a statute of limitations on arson if you assume it didn’t kill anyone. unfortunately, my brain assumes any bad thing i did long enough ago has by now killed several people via the butterfly effect
that’s silly
what if everything you regret butterflew into nothing but good things, and everything you are proud of butterflew into killing millions.
Yay now I’m assuming everything i ever did had BOTH effects
isn’t that the point of the butterfly effect? the world as the individual experiences it is chaos, there are no right choices, “after the revolution” never comes, the struggle never ends. living is like surfing. you can ride the wave as best you can or you can drown.
