Self-pity

Self-pity can be fun...for a minute...

To think that the whole world is responsible for our misery, what a powerful thought.  What a thrill it is to be at the centre of a world that exists only in our head.

When that minute is gone, it's time to move-on. Nothing worthwhile has ever been achieved by indulging in self-pity (I love to state the obvious ; )

It's not easy to get out of it though. It's like the chant of a siren, attracting you into the depth of an ocean of your own stupidity. 

Resisting the call takes all that you have left. It will hurt, it will be humbling, it might even redefine who you are entirely. At the end of the journey, however, you will be stronger, more aware, more in control and eventually happier. That, I promise.

Fight your way out of self-pity, or let go of it, whatever works for you but do something about it.
