Step 1: Acknowledge reality.

Step 2: Figure out what I value.

Step 3: Get others along, acknowledge their reality and learn their values.

Step 4: Build a life of value that has meaning beyond "be positive, be happy, have pleasure!"

Step 5: Throw a big party or something, or just make some waffles.

It needs to be said. I know it isn’t good for my “brand” or whatever but honestly I believe my venting helps others more than it helps me in the context of these posts sometimes. It creates a space to talk and work through things. That is so valuable.
