How To Not Feel Sorry For Yourself

Do not cry because you think life is unfair. There is a great ball of uncertainty, wound up tightly like a skein of yarn caught behind your chest. It alters your perception of reality.  Do not cry because you think you aren't good enough to have what you want. What you want seems hazy; not quite animal, mineral, nor vegetable enough to hold in your hand. Yet.  Do not cry because people think you are flailing. They can't see your happiness like you can.  And do not cry because you are alone and unworthy of or unlucky in love. You cannot yet comprehend what's waiting for you out there. And it can all be a little overwhelming, sometimes.
