@mind_writing I'm glad you stopped in. I'm not on this account as much as I used to be. I created a new account for non-fanfics & I'm on there all the time now
Nobody has been writing or updating TSS since Thomas' vids stopped coming out regularly. Covid was really good for stories then.
However, I still drop in sometimes too & I'm glad I did today.
Your message is So Very Important! In addition to what you said, I did a research paper a couple of years ago & discovered something interesting. When you think about something regularly, like negative thoughts, your brain starts to hardwire into that way of thinking. My mom can find the bad in any situation - no matter how good it might be. I'm the opposite. Even if I can't find anything good about it, I can find the belief that something good can come from it eventually. I get that from my dad. I always try to think good things. When there is something I don't like about myself, I try to think of something that I DO like about myself & try to concentrate on that instead. The smallest thing can make the biggest difference
