Your life is good. Remember to remember that even when not-good things are happening. And don’t beat yourself up because you forget to remember. Just don’t stop eventually-remembering.
Love,
Yourself
He pictures his thinking self as a government minister sitting behind a large desk, who writes a question on a piece of paper and puts it in his out-tray.
