kittydesadeThings what I should remember:
Do not go out run/walking for two miles in 95 degree weather during a smog alert. Just don't. I don't care how angry and upset you are.
Just because no one comments on any original piece you write doesn't mean they don't read it. Just because they don't remember doesn't mean they don't care. Just because you don't have hundreds or even tens of readers doesn't mean they aren't reading. Just because no one says anything doesn't mean it's a total vacuum.
Just because you couldn't go doesn't mean they left you behind. Just because you don't talk as much anymore doesn't mean s/he doesn't care. You're not as unnecessary as you think you are. Just because you're replaceable doesn't mean you're expendable. Just because you feel like you've been replaced doesn't mean you have been.
Just because everyone at work talks down to you like you're stupid and low doesn't mean that you are. Just because you have to practice and maybe mess up on a few things doesn't make you a failure. Just because you're not as wildly successful as you wanted to be doesn't mean it was all for nothing. It doesn't mean you should stop trying. It doesn't mean you should give up.
Just because you're hurting now doesn't mean it'll be like this always. Just because someone said you're a high muckety muck of something or other doesn't mean you have to do it all by yourself. Just because someone called you wise, once, doesn't mean you are. It also doesn't make you stupid if you're not living up to your expectations. You know you have high expectations, higher than anyone should be forced to meet. Aim High does not mean Kill Yourself.
Yes, you feel low now. Angry, upset, lost, confused. Hurt, afraid, ashamed, alone. Unloved, unwanted, unnecessary, unneeded. Irrelevant, replaced, ignored, in the background. A blip. A nothing. Untalented and undesired. These are all true feelings, but that doesn't make them true. Just because you can't fix yourself doesn't mean you shouldn't ask for help. It's not shameful. And just because you can't fix yourself doesn't mean it won't pass. Life is rough now. It gets better. It really does. I promise.
