When people say things to me like “well there’s nothing you can do so there’s no point stressing about it” HOW DO YOU STOP STRESSING ABOUT IT

seriously!

Fuck that. This is those “your feelings don’t make sense to me so stop feeling them” things. Or as it’s properly known: invalidation.

If emotions were as simple as “don’t feel {x} way”, then we’d bloody well do it!

Last Monday, I published a Valentine’s special for my work on Facebook. In under an hour a competitor who I used to work for practically copied and undercut me. I’d waited about 4 days after coming up with the idea before publishing it on FB for advertising because I wanted to get maximum exposure. And on that particular day, it was copied.

It wasn’t a coincidence. It was a copy. I was told I shouldn’t worry about it, don’t get angry, there’s nothing I can do. Yeah, there’s nothing I can do. BUT IT DOESN’T STOP ME FROM FEELING AS ANGRY AS THE BURNING FIRES OF A THOUSAND SUNS.
