It’s easier when you’re older, to sit back and say “Why did I react the way I did? Why did that “trigger” me. I do it a lot. I always ask why did it bother me. What’s REALLY bothering me. I swear it’s changed me. It’s helped me keep my composure and not feel unstable with my feelings. You feel grounded when you dig deep to figure out why you do and react the way you do.
