And I didn't really talk about it with a lot of people, maybe just a few close friends, maybe I mentioned it, but ultimately it really shattered me to lose this person. So I had a really hard time coping with it. And one thing I learned from this experience in regards to mental health, this is also very important, was that the best thing I could do for myself to get myself through it, was to not distract myself

You solve the problem without knowing that you are solving it. People come in our lives in different ways, different goals. They have different agendas, and each one of them, they are valuable. You have to value each person. Even those who hurt you value them. If that person did not walk away from you, you wouldn't be having time to go to the gym now to take care of yourself, which is great. And to sleep. To have enough time to sleep

Write it down or keep it in my mind that I am alive. I see this day, whether it's raining or snowing or windy day, it does not matter. I see this day. That means that God loves me. He gave me this opportunity to live. I'm not going to waste this day worrying about things that I have no control over. You don't have a control over that person who left you. You have no control over the person mind

But basically, like, for me, I feel like what I was trying to say was when I said taking care of myself and doing what I need to do, what I mean by that is I feel like I have to turn that love that I would have given to that person into my own healing, is what I was trying to say, is that rather than focusing on controlling the other person, which is what you said, which is basically what I was saying, was that I had to turn inward the love that I would have given to that person into myself and use it to heal and use it to control what I can do versus the other person

You have a nice day. Good rest of your day. It's cold here in Washington State. Rain and almost snow. They announced it's going to be snowing this afternoon. I don't like it. But anyway, we'll see you down the road with another swell. Bye
