Let’s get this straight: not all of our happiness and sadness comes from our internal locus. It’s the circumstances we are entangled in and the people we care about that inexorably steer a significant part of an adult’s life. It can be a financial crisis within the family, ill health of a loved one, regular toxic workplace drama, or a fight with your partner; you are as much this as anything else. Recognising that these are just parts, not the whole of your being, is crucial for maintaining sanity.
