It is so easy to presume while your whole world has ground to an absolute halt, so has everyone else’s. But the trash collector will continue taking our garbage, a week’s worth of mail will still be neatly stacked on the counter. Amazingly, life has gone on.
No matter how sucky things can be, life still continues. Even if you get into an accident, even when you lose a love one, even when your family comes apart, even when you are close to breaking down.
I learnt to stop wallowing in self-pity long ago. I will de-dramatize everything and take it coolly. I learn to keep going on.
My approach to it now is to fight back. The more shit life throws at you, the more you tackle them down. You can’t be defeated, buried and be swarmed in a pool of shit. Stand up and fight for yourself, your life.
Simply because no one else can do it for you.
pick yourself up
