I do feel ya' on that, friend. Trust me. It's okay to break down, cry, be pissed, etc. Life can really fucking suck sometimes...hell, most times even. I just find that positive self-talk has helped me turn a shit day around. When I have those days that feel like everything and anything is going wrong, I usually just accept the chaos with a bit of humor. I'll literally laugh out loud and try to do something that brings me joy...whether it be play video games, cook myself a nice dinner, go for a walk with the dogs, and so on. I tell myself that what I'm feeling is only temporary and, as cliché as it may be, tomorrow is a new day. Life will pan out the way it does and I have no control of the uncontrollable, but I have control over how I react and let it affect me.

Thanks for this—I needed it! So true—you’re so right about the way we Frankenlife m…you know, envying this persons perfect social life, that persons house/ car(s), the other person’s husband/ wife/ kids, someone else’s job…

I gave up my career to WFH 3 years ago to be 100% commission and self employed. While I’m beating myself up about not having all the XYZ that the neighbors or friends seem to have, I remind myself that I work probably part-time hours and get to experience a quality of life with my family (and myself) that anyone would kill for.

So grateful for what I have, where I am… thanks for the reminder.
