Quote by Sasheer Zamata

“One thing we would talk about with my therapist is, "Well, you could feel bad about this, but you don't have to. You could be angry about this situation that you can't control or not." It really helped me with a lot of situations and helped me feel more at peace.”

My intuitive move, whenever I'm considering writing something, is to steer towards what feels enjoyable. Another way of saying it is, you just try to avoid the "sucky." If you start to think of a story and a way to tell it, and your reaction is kind of like, Ugh, that's going to be hard, then you don't want to do that.”
