Recently I somehow rewired my brain to stop feeling sad about the fact that it’s been a while since I did something I’ve enjoyed or sad that something sad happened after something good. Like I guess it’s that “Don’t cry because it’s over; smile because it happened” thing. I can just fondly recall cuddling with my Bad Ex and just really enjoy the good times I had with him and not think about how that relationship ended. It’s very strange I don’t know why this changed but it’s very nice. I can remember enjoying going camping without needing to want to go camping again. Just happy I had the experience.
