Knowing you can get past it is the key.

Last week I had to the misfortune of someone saying something cruel to me. My feelings were briefly hurt but then I was able to bounce back. Does this person matter to me? Will this incident matter in XX days? Does the comment define my day? Once you’re able to answer those questions, it gets better. It seemed a big deal at the time but thinking clearly helped me get through it and it doesn’t bother me now. Writing this got me thinking about a couple of months ago when I was upset over losing a friendship. I tortured myself for days and it again seemed a big deal at the time. But here I am, better than ever. Now only if I could learn how to fix my sleeping pattern..
