Even though I always tell people on the lines that I’m not looking for advice and in fact, I don’t want any, they always give it.  The standard list goes meditation, yoga, listening to music, reading a book and going for a walk.  It’s so standard and cliche that I’m tired of it.

People like to pretend that they have the answers, but they don’t.  They just have trite simplistic nonsense.

I just read that gratitude interventions don’t work for anxiety and depression and yet, I’ve heard people suggest a gratitude journal so many times I’ve lost count.

I was mad at you before. But I learned that stooping down to your level will gain me nothing so instead of destroying myself by hating you, I learn not to care about you. I freed myself from the hate and bad vibes that you brought in my past life. You took away the best friend that I had in him and you destroyed every single bit of a relationship that we had. But honestly speaking, I am very thankful to you for doing that. Because you gave us time to explore life, gain new friends and deal with our shit while being apart. You made us realize how much we love each other. You see, absence makes the heart fonder. That's what you did. And thank you for that. Maybe if we pushed ourselves before about being together, we will not last. But today, with the relationship that we have right now, after you, I know that we're stronger.
