Whenever I see a comment on social media that I think is wrong, I feel the need to correct it. These arguments can go on for days, even weeks, and if I don’t win the argument, I get overly fixated on it, wondering where I went wrong and so on.

    “I’m gonna die one day. Is this what I want to spend time on? Is this what I want to be remembered for?”

    If I ask myself this before every comment I’ll never hit that reply button.

      I value spreading positivity and helping people. If I think a quick comment can do that, it’s worth my time to me.
