Felt today (technically yesterday)

Even though part of the day was great and healing, my mouth got hurt because I burned it on an otherwise good crispy tortilla and "refried" beans wrap which I toasted in the oven. I needed to let it cool down more before biting into it. I used to save more money by making things like that to eat. I also had some shirt and jacket chewing incidents, which have plagued me off and on for several years. These incidents aren't good for my teeth. At a particularly angry point, as I was leaving a park, (which had mostly given me so much peace, and yet I had read some things which triggered a response and was relapsing back into the angry and self-destructive chewing on clothes habit), I saw a blond woman comforting an older woman who was in distress. Something about seeing them  encouraged me to view things in a different way. As of now, I have not chewed in a reckless way since that happened.
