Social media has become a vent hole for people to bitch about their life and compete for who has it the hardest.
It’s stupid.
I see post after post from people who repeatedly sulk about how sad and difficult their lives are in attempt to gain sympathy and attention.
Everyone has hard days…
That’s not what I’m talking about here.
I’m talking about the professional victim clowns who have the same sob story about how they got “screwed,” “abused,” or “traumatized” in literally every single situation they deal with.
Every relationship was “trauma.”
Every disagreement was “abuse.”
Every failed job they got “screwed.”
And they damn sure got a victim story for all situations that’s always ten times worse than yours.
These people fail to realize they are the only commonlaity in their own dumpster fire.
Furthermore… while people may act like they care about your sad story on the internet…
I promise you, they don’t give a single fuck!
Every one of us has a sad story or two.
Every one is has serious shit to deal with.
ALL OF US.
It’s not just you.
And competing for who’s had it the worst is pointless and irrelevant.
Instead of bitching, whining, and crying about your struggles to strangers on the internet looking for double taps…
Be the person who goes out to create a journey of overcoming.
Be the person who shows the problem AND the solution.
Losers take the hand they’re dealt in life and bitch about it when it’s not what they expected.
Winners take the exact same hand and transform it into exactly what the fuck they want.
You don’t have to settle for the life you have now…
You don’t have to be the victim…
You don’t have to identify with a sad story…
You’re just choosing to.
The sooner you understand this…
The sooner you’ll be able to stop tolerating your own bullshit and start making progress.
Quit dwelling on your story of struggle.
Realize…
Shit’s hard.
And?
Life is like that.
So start creating your journey of overcoming.
That’s the journey people want to hear.
That’s the only journey that matters.
With fire and love,
Erin
