And yes, the world can be a dangerous place. But it can also be a safe place. This is a rare event ( thankfully) and there is also so much good in the world.

I try to avoid media these days. When I read newspapers, watch the news, it is always about the negatives in life and it can be quite triggering for me. It gets stuck in my head and distorts my view of life.

I have experienced negative events, but the days on which these happened are only a small minority of the days I have been alive. It is my head that remembers them everyday, the events do not actually happen everyday and I have survived them.

It is autumn here now and the leaves on the trees are changing colour and walking through the woods, through fallen leaves, is so beautiful. So I think it is about looking for those good things and not focusing on the rare nasty stuff.

I know it is easier said than done, It is work in progress for me.

Hugs to you.
