I don't know. I guess something in my life convinced me. Or maybe from making it through so many difficult things while I was young and dumb. Plus the antidepressants have helped.

I day screw the positivity side of it Getting up means you didn't get beaten and you're doing it all on your own, despite what they throw at you. You get to point and laugh and say "that's all you got? Better load up on carbs and try again, bitch."

Asking myself that very question today and wondering why I bother getting back up at all.

I learned to be a steamroller. It does not matter what people say or do that is negative. It does not matter that I lost most everything in the great recession back in 2008...I just keep steamrolling along, throwing myself into my work. When I am in a better financial position, lots of other things eventually fall into place. You look young, you have a lot of time to apply yourself to what is most important to you. At this point, you have to be kind of selfish and put your needs above all else. Make sure you enjoy the journey, because that is the prize. One more thing that is really important...exercise regularly. It does wonders for your mind as well as your body.

I think about how good the sun feels.

Remember Shit Happens!

It's you who sorts you out honestly.

I just keep easin' on down the road.

oh...this hurts...sorry @Akfishlady. it does feel overwhelming sometimes.
