My good thing for today is difficult to explain, so I'm not sure that I'll even try to explain how and why this quote has affected me. Just that it has somehow suddenly changed my perception of something that has bothered me for a very long time. So anyway my good thing was reading a quote from Tacitus:

'It belongs to human nature to hate those you have injured.'

I don't know if it's just me that hears it this way, but the instrument that I think is a clarinet (I had a hard time deciding what it was, so I'm not completely certain) somehow almost had a vocal quality to it.

It is an unusual way of playing it.

It's almost like the musicians or group would like to hide their identity. I found another YT link to the piece. Below it it says:

Contributor: Léo Jassef
Clarinet: Guillaume Humery
Percussion: Léo Jassef
Piano: Léo Jassef
Piano: Guillaume Humery
Composer: Guillaume Humery

I guess it helps us justify what we did. I used to feel kind of that way, but lately I've had this mantra, as many things are coming back to haunt me:

"I ask the universe for forgiveness, I accept forgiveness. I forgive myself, I release it".

Otherwise I'll ruminate on the awful things I've done to people, which tend to be in the distant past, in my childhood basically, when you build up your own self esteem by knocking down others.

My good thing for today is I got a lot of cleaning done. It never seems to end, never a day when you say that's it, all done, no more cleaning necessary for at least three weeks. In fact cleaning reveals more cleaning that needs to be done, the mess hidden behind the mess, the dirty clothes that made their way under the bed, the crumbs you didn't see before that need sweeping after you finally put away groceries you bought a week ago.

Ay ay ay.

In this case it gives me a new perspective on someone else's state of mind, which somehow frees me from needing to continue to hate myself. But I could write 1000 words and likely not fully explain why that quote makes me feel better about that particular situation.

I like your mantra, the forgiving myself and releasing is the hard part for me. But I think if I can consider that in this case the hate that was directed towards me was most likely a result of the person's awareness of the pain they had caused me, then I will be able to release this particular issue.

I did a big no no today, was just so depressed about everything I grabbed a bottle of tequila that has sat in my cupboard for 8 and a half years now and got pretty much plastered :facepalm:

Maybe it will be medicinal. I hope so.

Get ready to go to bed early so you can get up early and go back to sleep. First the pass-out sleep, then the hangover cure sleep.

I'm not really sure how big a deal that is for you health wise, but it's definitely not a good way to deal with depression. Typing back and forth might not be as convenient as talking, but if I'm around you can always 'talk' to me if it will help.

Thank you my friend, I'll probably pay for it in some way health wise. It just caught up with me today and that was the easy outlet. I went 8 and a half years though
