I've just had a particularly bad few days because of some people basically doing their best to f**k with my life. To a degree it worked. However...
Being particularly twisted my mind bounced at an odd angle.
Late in the night I was thinking.
Something that put it all into perspective was when I was thinking of a chap I know called Zak who has cerebral palsy. He is one of the greatest people I've ever met. I don't choose the word "greatest" lightly.
Standing joke is that he only walks in a straight line when he's drunk but if you are trying to be mean to him everyone within a 20 foot radius will dance on your liver. He's someone who because of his pure straight-on I-Will-Take-What-Life-Deals-Me-And-Cope attitude that makes you realise that what you got to deal with perhaps isn't quite as bad as you think. I don't mean he's tough or anything, he's just a nice guy who tries to deal with things and takes both life's events and people as they come.
I guess what I'm saying is, whatever is thrown at you, you can get through. Might take friends to help, might take time just so you can take stock, might simply take some idiot on a forum wearing spandex and pronouncing himself Captain Obvious.
Whatever it is.
You will get through it.
