We’ve all witched about something, but what does that do for us? Do we really feel better for complaining about something we have no control over? Do we accomplish anything in the long run? Even in the short run does a moment of letting loose ever really satisfy us?
Or does it just make us grumpier, angrier, more p*ssed off?
Recently I read someone’s post on social media and it stopped me cold. There’s so many posts and memes sprouting feel good, positive energy thinking and yet it was a blah humbug mumble grumble that reached me. It startled me how much we talk about the negative. How horrible we’re feeling or how irritating things are. Generally just how peeved off we are at that moment. At that second.
And once it’s out there in cyberspace it’s out there for life.
We can’t shake it off. Let it go. Walk way or drop it. We’ve now given it a cyber life that will hang around us and sit there goading us even more.
So, have I stopped? I’m not sure. There are times when a statement is just that – a simple statement with no other attachments. A headache is a headache. A cold a nuisance we’re dealing with. A situation of strange timing.
I do know I’m tired of reading and writing about that which makes my nerves tighten, blood boil, and generally leaves me wishing I hadn’t said anything to begin with. Tired of crap that doesn’t change anything, just adds to the pile.
Earlier a picture scanned by the screen and it made me smile. It made me feel good and that feeling stayed longer and felt better than any time I’ve ever witched about something.
I’m not saying the witching won’t be around, but I believe there’s a spark lighting up that will slowly outshine any blah humbug mumble grumbles.
