Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.

Is is possible Tezca taking Alex has nothing to do with Michael, considering in the next episode Bonnie says Tezca wanted her to kill Michael? I don't see why Alex would be needed as leverage against Michael if she wanted him dead.
Also: when exactly are we supposed to be getting this "romantic" storyline for Malex that Chris was so proud of & thought people would "dig," because I'm beyond irritated that Alex is even barely mentioned. The only thing to dig here is Alex's body from the ground. 😒😒

I feel like toxic positivity is really prevalent in the New Age and Manifestation communities, and I just want to show people what it is and how to avoid it.
Toxic positivity is the assumption, either by one’s self or others, that despite a person’s emotional pain or difficult situation, they should only have a positive mindset. - Dr. Jaime Zuckermane
Hyperfocusing on positivity
Pushing away negative emotions.
Classifying certain emotions as bad and certain ones as good.
Not allow yourself to feel "bad" emotions.
Believing the right mindset can cure physical/mental illnesses or disorders.
Hiding your negative emotions.
Feeling guilty when you have negative emotions.
Dismissing other people's negative emotions and thinking they just need to be more positive.
Ignoring problems in hopes they go away.
Manifest positivity!
I am in control of my destiny and will be cured (of physical/mental illness) if I manifest it!
Everything happens for a reason.
If I can do it, you can do it.
You have so much to be grateful for!
Positive vibes only!
Quitting is not an option.
Smile, crying won't help.
Being negative won't help you!
Everything will work out in the end.
Don't think about it, stay positive!
