At the time I was LITTERED with negative emotions, so I became good at recognising and distinguishing *those*.

And we know that this is helpful, this is what the bio emotive framework is all about. See the list of emotions they suggest you might be feeling:

Distinguishing bad emotions was good: first it feels good - they feel manageable - second it suggests how to move forward - they actually become manageable.

However, being littered by bad feels, ANY good feel was welcome and I didn't really pay a lot of attention to distinguish between them. Turns out this was a mistake.

Having insufficient handles for the vibes you want to paint your life with makes your life a painting other than the one you desired.

But I now have handles. New handles. Tons of handles. Feeling majestic. The feeling of being in a squad, of tight coordination and unbounded love. Of being welcoming or polite or caring or appreciative. Feeling joy or bliss or reward or paradise. Not as words but as 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴.

It is also the case that it turned out that the solution was further 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴. First between bad feels, then between good feels. And philosophy is the art of distinctions. Which makes me feel very vindicated in having taken an interest in it when I was like 15.

you’ve been talking about this right?
yeahh haven't written about it much because in some sense there's nothing to it but I've been doing it a bunch and it seems to be very helpful towards untangling long-term-confused things. I've been calling it "telling good things apart"
