Last year was a TERRIBLE year.
I am not just being dramatic...it was really bad.
And now this year is shaping up to be just as awful. What is the secret to dealing with life when it goes pear shaped? Optimism? Wine? Positive attitude? That all sounds like denial in disguise.
Maybe i need to let the shit be shit. Just live it and experience it and then pick myself up at the end of it.

Hey there
ReplyDeleteThat post is the first I've read on your blog.
Sorry things have been tough and may be tough again.
I've had a pretty good life, except for one large adversity - a chronic illness that affects me medically and socially (see my blog for more details). I work and study and write and lead a full life. But being unwell is really hard. The one thing that has made having an illness a little less shit is volunteer work. I mentor chronically ill young people and it is amazing to see them challenge themselves, succeed at things they thought they'd never do, and develop themselves personally. It's brought me a whole different perspective and I can use my experiences to help them.
I don't know you at all, so I hope not to offend, but I highly recommend you taking on community work if you can manage. It might make you more uplifted.
