Hardy (David Tennant) is asking Miller (Olivia Colman): "How d'you do it, Miller, the whole single parent thing?" Miller's back is to us. Hardy's face looks strained. A scene from Broadchurch showing Miller (Olivia Colman) answering Hardy's question. Her face is toward us, lit by the sun. She looks resigned and self-deprecating as she says, "By constantly absorbing feelings of failure, guilt and shame." Sometimes you just don’t get to feel good about things.Β  Anyway a good rule I read somewhere long ago is something like Never trust how you feel about your life after 9pm. I’ve found it helpful to expand the rule a bit.Β  Never trust how you feel about your entire life…. β€’ when you’re hungry or have eaten only crap lately. β€’ when you’re not getting enough sleep. β€’ when you’re in pain. β€’ when you just made a mistake. β€’ when something big is happening especially if it’s a bad or scary big thing. β€’ when you’re in an argument or fresh out of one. β€’ when you haven’t seen the sun in 24+ hours. β€’ when you’ve just gotten bad news.Β  There are many more situations where this advice could be helpful.Β  When something is off, imbalanced, scary, upsetting in some part of your life, the rest of your life will tilt toward that angle. Or at least will feel like it does. Remembering this helps me to not take my own feelings so seriously.Β  I hope today is a good day for how you feel about your life, but if it’s not, tomorrow might be better. For the record, I feel good about my life right now, this very minute. I wrote part of this post a few days ago and another part of it a few years ago. I survived both the years and the days. You will, too.Β  there is a light somewhere. it may not be much light but it beats the darkness. be on the watch. β€”Charles Bukowski, The Laughing Heart ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ April 7, 2025 [8] Reply by email [9] Subscribe via RSS [10] Back to all blog posts ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ πŸ‘‹ [11]email | [12]micro.blog | [13]mastodon | [14]omg.lol πŸ’ƒ An image with filename: WrittenByAHuman_08.png An image with filename: CoffeePowered_03.png [15]PIKA References: [1] https://anniemueller.com/ [2] https://anniemueller.com/ [3] https://annie.omg.lol/ [4] https://anniemueller.com/guestbook [5] https://anniemueller.com/posts [6] https://annie.micro.blog/ [7] https://anniemueller.com/slash [8] mailto:annie@omg.lol?subject=Re%3A%20Tomorrow%20might%20feel%20better [9] https://anniemueller.com/posts_feed [10] https://anniemueller.com/posts [11] mailto:annie@omg.lol [12] https://micro.blog/Annie [13] https://social.lol/@annie [14] https://annie.omg.lol/ [15] https://pika.page/?utm_source=pika_blog&utm_medium=pika_footer_branding
