Negative,
self-defeating,
unhelpful
thoughts
can act like
an old song on the radio.
Without realizing it,
you can find yourself singing along.
The difference between
the thoughts and a song:
the song takes you to a
place you once were
(for better or worse)
and you move on;
the thoughts
take you to a place you
don’t want to be
and you stay there.
The way they are the same:
you can always change the station.
