But then my bestie Claire, she loves a very slow, gentle book where it's more about the emotional meaning behind it.
We don't all like the same things.
And if we did, the world would be bloody boring.
That's the whole point of talking about this stuff here.
a safe place to talk about what's making us feel brilliant and what is making us feel shit.
And you certainly won't agree with me and Team Happy Place on all of it.
You know, you might like bad books.
Oh, this one really gets my go.
Archie from Team Happy Place says, people who express or jump on opinions just for a reaction on social media.
I think social media is full of that constantly.
And my way of finding a bit of calm when that's happening a lot is to understand that, yes, you know, I'm sure some of the time, or maybe even a lot of the time, people are putting opinions out there because they vehemently feel like there's injustice or there's a problem with something going on in the world.
I mean, there's a lot to be moaning about at the moment and outraged about.
But sometimes people aren't and they're actually angry about something going on in their lives, whether it's their own injustice, which is totally valid or something that's just really riled them in their own lives.
And social media is seemingly this great benign way of releasing that and not having to deal with the actual thing going on in your life.
So if we look at a situation which isn't world changing, globally changing,
full of injustice it's just like I don't know one of the Kardashians has done something or somebody's worn very little on the red carpet do you need to put your full anger behind that moment do you need to say anything at all
I don't think so.
But it is an easy way of releasing some of that tension and that rage.
And that is the only way I can calm myself in those moments is remembering that my life like yours is full of those moments.
You know, tiny little injustices or bigger ones or things from the past that piss you off so massively.
