here’s why negativity matters. i live a fact-based life and use fantasy as an effective tool for what it’s good for: stress relief, entertainment and imagination. i do not believe in magic! i deploy effective strategies in my life to attain my goals. i do fail in many regards. how can i become the best version of myself if i don’t see the negative and attempt to overcome it? i don’t believe that white-washing negativity and misery leads to more effective thinking. i believe it puts my consciousness in a black box.
