Trigger happy?

In my experience triggers have very little to do with happiness.

Quite the opposite.

I’m talking about the triggers that other people inadvertently set off in me because of some long forgotten historical event that occurred, and which no longer matters in the slightest. If it ever did.

That event led to a reaction. And that reaction became a habit.

And it feels like that trigger happy habit is part of me. Part of who I am.

But it ain’t. And it doesn’t have to exist at all.

If our body cells can change completely over time, then so can our thinking patterns. I’m sure of that. Although it will undoubtedly require a great deal more awareness on my part.

I’m quite sure nobody else has this issue though…
