Though I run this site, it is not mine. It's ours. It's not about me. It's about us. Your stories and your wisdom are just as meaningful as mine. 
When we’re facing adverse situations, it’s difficult to imagine a better life. We’re so engrossed within the emotions that we forget everything is temporary. If we mull on the bad, then we fall into the loop and only make the situation worse.
Although it’s difficult in extreme circumstances, I fallback to Stoicism.
“God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.”
It’s simple, if you can’t change it, then just let it go.
