Question Posted Friday September 30 2011, 10:02 pm
I'm feeling extremely miserable and empty, mainly due to the absence of someone in my life (they no longer go where I go), how to stop this and make myself feel better?
Take stock of your life. Half the people in this world get fed a constant s**t sandwich rammed right in their teeth from sun up until sundown. If this situation doesn't describe you then you are doing very well indeed. I lead a really ordinary life by American standards. But you know what? To that half of the world that is unceasingly put upon, my life is their idea of paradise. I'm really grateful for that. It's all about a sense of proportion.

Something you CAN control is how you feel about yourself. There is no reason to feel empty if you truly love yourself.
I mean, it may get you down that you won't get to see this person very much, but try not to dwell on it. Letting a person complete you leads to sadness when they can't be there. Let YOU complete you.
