It’s hard when you feel like your life is getting flushed down the toilet, when everything you know and love is changing to something unknown and unwanted. It’s easy to just want to crawl into a hole and die, or go to sleep and wake up in 5 years when it’s all in the past. Since none of us really have that option we instead have to find a way to survive. It will likely be a struggle and an uphill battle for a while, but SURVIVING is the important part.
Since I am currently going through a very tumultuous time in my life I am looking for ways to SURVIVE. Here’s what I’ve found:
#1: Find a friend who makes really good mojitos. Have her make you one or several. (Thank you Karin).
#2: Banish all depressing music for a while. It’s very hard to be upset and cry when you thump Eminem while driving.
#3: Walking your dog at the park in the sunshine is good for both of you. Have a friend who makes you laugh join you. (Thanks Tamera, I laugh hardest when I’m with you).
#4: Repeat your damn mantra: I will survive. I will survive. Play the damn song if it helps, but play the Cake version because it’s fun.
