Perspective

It’s hard for me to keep everything in perspective when it feels like everything is going wrong. I’ve learned that I can’t let that feeling of despair linger, otherwise it festers and turns into hopelessness. One of the ways I counter this is doing unexpected nice things for people, whether it’s giving them a gift that I know they’ll love or donating to a charity in their honor. It reminds me that there are good people in the world and, maybe, I’m not the terrible, awful person that I sometimes think I am.
