Imagine having a crappy week or month and then you experience something that makes you so happy, you forget about everything else. Then, that same moment was ruined by some idiot. Do you mourn the passing of the happy feeling, or do you get a sense of defensiveness or aggression?
I was having a happy moment. I was delighted that I found a place to donate my art supplies, and I was super pleased that I was getting rid of neglected things in my home. I was just happy. A few minutes later that happiness was ruined when my neighbor was standing in my backyard and letting their dog crap on my freshly grown grass. I went blank, walked outside, calmly told the neighbor to stop letting the dog crap on my lawn, and after getting a snarky reply from them, I walked back into my house and carried on. I was filled with irritation and then anger because of my happy buzz being killed.

it’s not even just sadness it’s like this mix of rage n protectiveness over that lil happy moment u had

I would probably laugh at the thought that I was finally having a nice moment and then someone let their dog shit on it. I’ve learned not to take things so seriously these days. It’s not worth my health. Lighten up and try to enjoy the small things!
The day i found out whether or not i got into medical school (a huge day, long and expensive process, the start to the rest of my life, very exciting and important to me) I found out my ex was messaging the woman he cheated on me with again. After we went through so so much to work it out. Then I ended up not matching to a school an hour later. That was a sucky day.
