Just another aphorism

I know there are lots of aphorisms out there, but I heard one in a movie, can't remember which one.

It was , don't collect injustices. Sounds silly but I realised that's what I do.

For some reason this one really helped.

That’s a great saying!! My mind almost constantly worries over the injustices that have happened in my life, I’m not outwardly angry or bitter but I give myself headaches thinking how I could’ve changed things and not have let some things happen I guess me worrying about them dosnt hurt anyone but myself . I hope I can stop . I like this , it’s freeing 😊

That's good. It's funny how some sayings sort of hit the spot. I was thinking of adding, don't collect regrets, don't collect and forever replay times when I embarrassed myself.

True also , holding onto regrets and past embarrassments only hurt us and stop us moving forward, hope I can let go , that’s going to take LOTSof practice for me. It’s the Bain of my life !!! But can try

I’m a very passionate person with a kind heart and when I hear about injustices that are happening i get sad and upset .I also am a HSP so sometimes I do worry and I do latch on or ruminate and it sometimes does make it worse.

I do the same Hiba I am HSP also and when I younger it was "wearing your heart on your sleeve". You are a special person to have that ability you just have to learn to limit who you use your ability on. Gentle hugs Hiba 🤗🤗
