But whatever you do, don’t let a friend tell you to get your ass out of those debates. For your friends sake. That lady laid into me. ;)

Seriously. I don’t think people realize just how much these open cycles (what I like to call them) can weigh in our psyche. They are an unsolved problem that just get worse the more we engage with it. I believe they carry actual weight in our brains.

And the more we engage, the more the asshat just escalates, the worse it gets. And yet I find myself DAYS later thinking of what I should have said. That’s insane. I’m carrying it with me.

Anyways. I’ll stop ranting. ;)
