Be silenced

In a time when rant and rave across the internet the moment a thought pops into their head, I'm not sure the rush of dopamine of saying your mind or the possibility of being heard is worth the possibility of regret post-emotional high. You don't need to look to far to find a politician or celebrity who wished they bit their tongue on twitter because news reporters were having a slow day and decided to blow up a 100 character rant into a headline or try to instigate a feud. Hello drama.

I was watching this the other day.

Not the best movie, but some pretty good one-liners ("A toast to people who toast!").

One thing I liked was on the day Paul Rudd and Reese Witherspoon lost their jobs and ended up on a blind date together, and normally would have probably spent the entire date complaining and releasing their frustration to a complete stranger (in the above case, the stranger would be the entire internet), they instead decided to eat in silence. Be calm. Enjoy company. I know it's a movie.... but post-dinner he had a spring in his step instead of his head in his hands. Best conversation he didn't have had all week.

Is your head about to explode?

I'm totally feeling you right now. 
I haven't posted in a few days, my mind has been elsewhere.
And I'm trying something.

Holding my tongue and just trying to enjoy the moment.
