Leah Is Right

Think about your embarrassing moment for seven seconds and then never again.

I’ve never done anything embarrassing in my life, and I’ve definitely never done anything that anyone has ever talked about later after I left or the next day, hahah, ahh, hah, but in case you have, Leah Beckmann has some advice for you that she offers in a wonderful piece at Jezebel:

Do not, under any circumstances, think about any interaction you’ve had with another human being for longer than seven seconds. So you got weird at your office Christmas party. Give it a full seven seconds, and release it. Yeah, you did make a weird noise with your mouth when you were alone with someone in the kitchen, and? Laugh about it to yourself for exactly seven seconds and then never think about it again. Anything longer is too long.

Please read it and release your misery.
