It ain't so bad?

It is. Life is an awful thing. But much like everything else, most have to go through it. Sure, we can all say: "It could be worse." But that doesn't benefit anything. The fact is that if things are bad they are bad. At that point in time things can't get worse. Things are what they are. No changing it. No changing anything. Personal suffering is a very serious aspect in the way that things are. Currently, there are things that I'm not too happy about. But as time goes on, I am coming to understand that just because I'm going through a tough time in my life, I cannot let it rub off on anyone else. Because it isn't anyone else's problem how I react to a situation. Is that fair? I can't answer that at this point in my life. However, it's fact. Another thing that I am beginning to understand is that facts suck. They don't help. It's the same as people saying useless cliches to help you trough something. Seeking advice for your personal issues is a good thing. Just make sure you're getting this advice from someone who means a damn to you. If people you look to for advice don't care about you, or don't know you on a personal level the level of meaningful advice that they can give to you is nothing. So don't ask yourself if it could be worse. Just don't do that. Instead, tell yourself, "This is it. This is life. What can I do to make it worth anything." Troubles only last as long as you let them.
