@Wayne ... I found out that accepting how things are, here and now, works best for me, but i tend to work out the downs inside and not bother anyone in the process. If i'm great, great, i express that. If i'm not, i won't pretend i'm great, but i won't bring others down with me. If someone close to me asks, i'll share, but won't whine. If a good advice comes out, great. Sometimes, though, it's plenty enough to have someone to just hear you out, and you come out with a solution for yourself, by yourself, in the process of sharing. So... You're down now. And that's ok. Soon enough you'll find something to lift you up. And that'll be ok too. It's who and what you are.
I've read this somewhere, don't know the author, but it stuck:
"That’s life. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. It's good that it's not always bad."
