The other day, I saw a t-shirt that said "No Bad Vibes Allowed" and I think my eyes did a complete 360 revolution in their sockets. Toxic positivity is so ubiquitous it is now t-shirt fodder. Oy.
Key topics:
✔️ Guess what - sometimes as a human being, you will feel sad, angry, frustrated, upset, etc. There is no way I know of to be positive about every single moment every single day.
✔️ Even though we are all existentially alone, it is so healing to be heard and understood by another human being. Getting slapped down by toxic positivity robs you off that catharsis.
✔️ As my wartime consigliere told me, "A lot of these people who say they work in 'love and light' all the time are actually seething with unresolved rage." WORD.
✔️ Providing a healthy outlet for your anger is better than bottling it up or ignoring it. Go to the batting cages. Punch a punching bag at the gym. But don't hold it in and paste a fake smile over the top of it under the guise of "love and light only!"
