I bought a nice pair of silver and gold rings that will be engraved with our names and wedding date by next week! :D<br \/>\nI also got myself a new roll of blue masking tape and a delicious ice cream &lt;3<\/p>\n<p>Of course my brain decided the whole thing was enough mental effort for today, so that was mostly it for today.<br \/>\nI managed to mail the cake person today about a quote, though! And had a good chat with a good friend.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8230; keep things in for a long time.<br \/>\nIt is a thing with me. I rarely ever let things go, good or bad, when it comes to people; I remember fondly all the people I loved or enjoyed hanging out with, I keep interpersonal regrets forever and I also tend to hold (small, petty) grudges till the end of time. ((I think I&#8217;ve only ever grown indifferent towards one person in my whole life. One. I often forget this person even exists, tbh.))<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve learned with time that my feelings are on me, though. The people that provoked them are in no way responsible for them, let alone of the fact that I hold on to them; in fact, it&#8217;s actually very likely that the people I may have had issues with in the past don&#8217;t even care about me at all anymore or maybe they don&#8217;t even remember me! So, it&#8217;s rather pointless to keep those negative feelings, even if they&#8217;re just only mildly negative.<br \/>\nThe regrets, however&#8230; those are harder to let go.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve noticed that most of the time, though, my issues come not from what people have &#8216;done&#8217; to me, but from my own insecurities being reflected and sometimes amplified back to me, triggered by whatever it is that happened. And when I&#8217;m hurt for being disappointed by people I cared about, in the end it also comes back to me as I question my own judgement and behavior about why and how I choose to get close to certain people.<br \/>\nSo, when looking at everything, it&#8217;s all on me and what *I* feel, think and do, and not on the people those feelings are associated with.<\/p>\n<p>Been thinking about that.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s actually a bit easier to let things go when you realize most of the stuff comes from yourself anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I didn&#8217;t draw today.
