@abigail-dantes, Yes, whoever currently have an feeling that they are facing the Uncontrollable situations or phase, then first thing which they have to understand is, no matter what, we are left with the present situation and as you said we have to control our present to control our past, and to effectively plan for our future.

We all are Behavioural Beings and our behaviours develops from our environment and there is an reason behind it, and that is, whatever we see over and over that becomes an world for us and we start living that life by putting the context of Good and Bad aside.

And sometimes people hold false thoughts and that is, they live an illusionary life and they think that no situation can break them but actually internally they hold all suppressing thoughts and in outer World they are acting, but today or tomorrow it will going to come out like an disaster.

And as you said, expression is important and writing is most effective habit, and that is because whatever thoughts we hold, if we try to convert into them in writing form then that gives sense of relief because, when we write out our thoughts then these thoughts takes form of alphabets, words, lines, sentences and paragraph and this way our expressive story develops and it gives the sense of relief and sense of belongingness.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂
