The biggest mental shift I've ever made is understanding that things don't have to be great or terrible. They can just be.
This was really brilliant. I upgraded because of it. Have you read Zadie Smith's essay, On Joy? I think you might like it.
I am so glad you liked it :) that means so much to me. I just read that essay and have since spent an hour going through articles trying to parse out the differences between happiness, joy, and pleasure. I love it.
It's such a good essay. I read it for the first time years ago and it's stayed with me, I revisit it often.
