Unless your cask is perfectly clean, whatever you pour into it turns sour.

REFLECTION
What you take in is altered by the state of what receives it. Good advice given to a resentful person becomes ammunition; kindness offered to someone convinced they are being managed becomes an insult. The input was fine, and it went into a container that changed it. This is why the same conversation lands completely differently depending on the week.
If everything lately has been arriving as an irritation, the pattern may be in the container rather than the contents. Deal with the sourness first: the sleep, the unresolved argument, the thing you have not admitted you are angry about.
What sours inside you before it ever gets a chance?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
