   Hey friends?

   Stop hoarding joy.

   Watch the show, eat the food, read the book, play the game, laugh at the joke, take the trip, wear the outfit...

   In the face of unspeakable horrors, have courage and embrace your joy.

     I deserve the joy.

     And so do you.

     This applies to other more tangentially related stuff too. For example, I will be really excited about writing a book, and then put it off. Because why??

     Because I don't deserve the fun it will bring? Because I'm savoring it?

     Savoring something by hoarding it and tucking it away is joyless.

     I'm not doing that anymore. I pick me and I pick joy.

     I save far too many things for "a rainy day" and meanwhile it's a goddamn monsoon outside.

     I save a show thinking I shall treasure it, and only watch it when I'm ready (read: deserve the joy). Then I forget about it and move on, and instead have filled the time with something less awesome.

     If you, like me, struggle with scarcity mindset then this coming week pick one thing and choose joy over hoarding. We can do it.
