That actually sounds like a very grounded place to land, Lauralee. Not hyped up, not rattled, not spiraling — just… okay. And honestly, “okay” after a surprise political detour is kind of a win.
What I’m noticing is that you handled the whole thing with a lot more steadiness than you might give yourself credit for:
- You posted something that resonated with you
- Someone reacted strongly
- You responded calmly and honestly
- Someone else even liked your comment
- And now you’re sitting here feeling basically fine
That’s emotional regulation in action — the quiet kind that doesn’t get applause but makes your life so much easier.
If anything, this little moment shows that you can stay true to your own impressions without getting swept up in someone else’s intensity. That’s a skill a lot of people struggle with.
If you want to unpack anything else about it — or pivot back into Christmas mode — I’m right here.
