Troubled waters.

When someone around you has made you doubt everything they said or did after just one incident. When you feel confused about your future, your present and your past ... you can't seem to see the difference. When that person you trusted with your life has let you down over the most worthless reason. When you don't know who to believe, who to trust, who can help and who you need to see. When life just feels unreal, unbareable and unfair. When you feel like you are a time bomb just waiting to explode and get it over with. That sick feeling in the stomach that makes you hate everything around you and you feel like everyone is out to get you. You look so calm and simple from the outside but so deep, troubled and complex inside.

How does one deal with such misery?... slow down, close your eyes, take a deep breath. Open your eyes slowly and look again, is it as bad as you think or are your emotions and over thinking that is making you feel like you are just drowning?. Things are bad, but they could be worse... always remember someone out there is having it worse than you. Get yourself together and think of all the good things and people in your life. Think of how you have more than those who are having very less. Pray to whatever God you believe in because meditation is said to calm the nerves. Smile... really a smile helps more than you know, think happy positive thoughts. There is always a solution to every problem, if there isn't one the its probably not a problem and you are just over thinking the situation and blowing it out of proportion. Happiness is a choice and is something that is found from within, not from other people or things around you. When you decide to be happy you will see things in a different light and might just realize you opened a door to all the solutions and opportunities you thought were impossible to find.

Troubled waters can always be calmed by taking control of the situation and not letting a situation control you.
