Bottom of the Pit

Life is hard.

Sometimes we question our existence for various reasons. One of the most prominent reason is when become seemingly unbearable.

Or unbearable.

It's easy to just curl up and think about ending it. I've had enough, I'm sick of all this. I just want to stop the pain and suffering. The anxiety, the fear. The palpitation. The sleepless nights staring at the ceiling in the dark. The inevitable getting up in the morning to face your demons.

The demons.

But the demons are not outside. They are in your head. You are.

People can criticize of give your the hardest time. Some situations can be so crappy that you feel so demoralized and just want to quit.

It's true.

However, the you have the power. Yes, you, the hopelessly desperate and miserable you. You do have the power.

The power lies in your mind. You can choose not to let anyone or anything dictate what you feel.

You can choose to take control and pull yourself up from feeling miserable and pathetic.

There's hope. No matter how crappy you feel. You can choose to stop pitying yourself. You can stop feeling that you're the victim and that every one is out to get you. You can choose to be so self-absorbed and be open and be aware of your surroundings.

It's not an easy choice.

But make that choice.
