Good tip for mental health: Life is not fair. I thought the whole point was that life was supposed to be fair. I’m even a little embarrassed because this naiveté lasted a really long time. I truly thought that when something wasn’t fair, it was up to me and everyone around who saw it, to fix it. I also thought that if you didn’t fix it, you were part of the problem. While this is all partly true, you can run yourself ragged paying attention to every little thing that you can’t control. Focus on the things you can control. Work hard, be kind, take good care of yourself, and breathe. One step at a time. One day at a time.
