Slippery Slope

I've been here before



All I need is to repeat those words to live by
You can take care of yourself
Whispered aloud, just so I know it's real
Don't think too much

Take deep breaths
Let tomorrow be what it's going to be
Forget anxiety.
Forget anyone who doesn't care.

Think about the good things

• Hot coffee, just a little too strong
• A cool breeze
• Turning on the radio and listening to your favorite song
• A heartfelt e-mail from a friend half-way across the world (D.L. you know who you are :) )
• The climax of a good book
• Solving a math problem without help

And finally remember

• the people who prove that they care.
• you can make things better
• you are smart
• you are important to someone
• You can be happy; your unhappiness is not destiny

I know it's easy to get lost, but you are a survivor. 

It's in your blood.
