I think people would be happier if they admitted things more often. In a sense we are all prisoners of some memory, or fear, or disappointment—we are all defined by something we can’t change.

Simon Van Booy, The Illusion of Separateness (via thatkindofwoman)

The way I control my life and maintain order is through my perception of what is “fair” because I felt like my childhood was very unfair. But now I have come to a point where my definition is different than someone else’s. I am glad I am capable of understanding their perspective that their life was too unfair and how they maintain order is by making things fair to their standards.

Its made me realize that I have to own up to the reality that life is unfair. Its not a negative or positive thing. Everything is not a battle. Sometimes losing and letting go is what happens so you can move on and grow. Trying to notice more and judge less.

Why am I so bothered that someone called me illogical when I told them something that they could do to help me with my mental state. I know that my mental illness/anxiety is not logical. But that doesn’t mean I can just ignore it. You don’t ignore a broken arm. It is not easy to ignore pain from past abuse. Some people will just not get it and I just need to let them go.
