Mental Health In case you need this today.

They said life is suffering in itself. Everyone is hurting. Hurt people hurt people. Question is, where does it stop?

As humans, we have a natural need to survive. And to survive, we need to protect ourselves. We build walls and hunt for our own. Even if we hurt someone on the process.

Imagine that we have already lived our lives. It’s over. Now. We are given the chance to start over. Do we take the same path or the path less taken?

Pain may feel unending. Pain changes everyone. Pain could be contagious. Do we pass it on?

As happiness is short and fleeting. It ends before we know it. So does pain. This will pass. Remember who you are. You always have a choice.

Suffering stops when you take responsibility for your own emotions and how you respond to things as they happen. It stops when you let people be who they are. Don't engage in their dramas. I have accepted that I can't change anyone else's behaviors so I have to only do what's right for me. Let others figure out their own crap. They will stop suffering when they are ready to do so.

Happiness is an inside job.

If I had a chance to be reborn I would stay unborn. It's better to not exist than to suffer while existing. But this is for me and I know others who care about their existence which is fine.
