#don't compare yojrself is what im saying

[moon-str3ber]

Hi.

As much as I like to goof around, and be a little silly guy here and there, saying how "oh I'm back!" But then disappear two days later, it's an issue, trust me, I know. I've had personal problems, stressful months, and school has been getting up to me lately.

And with these problems, come with the underlying feeling of guilt. Guilt that I've told people (this might be targeted) "oh yeah I'll join" or "yeah, I'll be in the doc just give me a second." Even though I know I won't be able to join. Or the guilt that I can't be feeling this way, that if I felt this way, I'm being selfish because there's "other people that have been through worse." And there's where I want to focus.

Sure, you lost your job that you've been working there for a long time, but your friend lost their dog. And that's a bigger hurt and pain than yours right? Wrong. Everyone has pain, we all feel pain, it's bound to come. Others are lucky that it comes and goes, others aren't so fortunate as theirs comes and lingers for quiet some time. And that's okay. You're both going through pain. An analogy I like to say for this-- I don't know where I heard it, is, "You can compare a papercut and a stab wound, but in the end, both draw blood."

It doesn't matter if tracy lost her husband, and you only lost your friendship. You're both going through pain, others worse than yours, and that's okay. What's not okay is that you're hiding this pain, holding it until you become a shaken soda bottle. Ready to explode at any given moment or time.

Tell someone, ask anyone for help. We're all in this game of life, and sometimes we need a player two. Or three. Or even four.

I don't know if this is even gonna help anyone, but if it helps one person, I'm fine with that.
