Today is the day to embrace your dark side- it’s the Festival of Unmentionable Thoughts!
Every single one of us has the occasional crazy dark thought. Wondering what would happen if you swerved into oncoming traffic. Wondering if you could fake your death and start all over with a new identity. Wondering what would happen if you rage quit your job (even if most days you really like your job!).
To be clear, I am NOT suggesting that you go through with murdering your spouse or shoving a stranger off a cliff. Today is about unmentionable thoughts, not actions. What we are doing today is admit that yes, we all have crazy thoughts. Whether you chalk them up to Satan, the id, just random neuron firing or something else, everyone has had this phenomenon. It’s one of the things that makes us human. And it’s OK. You aren’t losing your mind. You aren’t possessed by a demon. You’re just a human being having a normal human experience. Embrace it!
