It Ain't Worth It - 30DBC

12 November 2021

Prompt: A reminder I could say to myself before I’m tempted to respond to anger with anger, to fear with fear, to negativity with negativity is...

I'd tell myself it ain't worth it. It's not worth the stress I would put myself through. It isn't worth doing something that I'll regret later and/or getting locked up in a mental hospital again. It's not worth the potential of another bipolar attack because I am stressed out. And it isn't worth getting sicker over, again because I get overly stressed. BTDT as the younger ones like to say. I learned through much introspection that I am the only one who can control what I allow to affect me - good or bad. And I realized that it isn't worth it to allow all the negativity to get to me. I've been in that crap hole and I don't wanna ever go back to it. So, my reminder will continue to be It Ain't Worth It.
