Friendship multiplies the good of life and divides the evil.

GRATITUDE
Something good stays small while it is only yours, and telling one person who actually cares makes it larger without costing you any of it. The same mechanism runs the other way with trouble. A worry carried alone grows in the dark; said out loud to someone steady, it shrinks to its actual size. Neither effect requires advice or solutions, only a person who is genuinely on your side.
Notice what you have been keeping to yourself this week, good news included. Pick one thing and tell one person, then ask them what they have been sitting on. The multiplying works in both directions.
Who have you not told about the hard thing yet?
Free, with nothing to buy inside it.
