One more bit of adulting advice

Don’t hate-read. You know what I’m talking about. Are there blogs or people who automatically make you clench your jaw and roll your eyes? Or always trigger a reaction of “Oh dear angels and spirits, not them/this AGAIN?”  Stop reading their stuff. Don’t seek it out, no matter how much ranty entertainment you feel it may be. 

Hate-reading is a drain of your time and energy.

(Note: I am posting this as a REMINDER TO MYSELF, because I fall into that trap, too.)

Also don’t follow people you can’t stand. Especially if it makes you give in to the urge to send anon hate. That’s not healthy for you or for the other person. It does nothing positive to serve you.

The way my mom puts it is this: Every time you indulge yourself in hating something, you wear a path in your brain, and it gets easier to fall into it or default to it in other situations. Hating gets easier.

You should not let hate become an easy thing for you. It will not give you happiness, and it will not give other people happiness.
