Horrible Situations

Do you ever know something is really bad but in your head you make the situation seem more positive than it should be?

I know that this is not a new concept to most but I've been thinking a lot about it lately because I've been doing that a lot lately.

Your life could be a complete disaster.

It could literally be crumbling to pieces.

However instead of turning back to the dark tunnel you just crawled out of you decide to blur the edges of it.

Instead of letting the sharp knife scar you, you put a cap over the end so it only bruises you instead of cut you.

In the back of our heads we know the situation is much worse, however wether it being that we cant handle the frustration, sadness or anger, or that we simply don’t feel like putting up with that at that moment in time, we make the situation seem not as bad.

There are different ways that we attempt at this

1. we decide to block this situation or even out of our mind until we completely forget abut it.
2. we look at the situation with one eye closed and the other one squinting, trying not to see how horrible it actually is
3. we simply fold the situation neatly, putting it away for when we can handle it

I’m sure there are more ways but those are the more common ones I use. And although this could not be the healthiest or smartest decision to make it is better than dealing with the situation but breaking that wall you have built around your mental positivity.

Although I have no advices on how to deal with this problem I thought this would be worth writing about because its something that has occupied my thoughts lately and actually came straight out of my journal…word for word.

I hope it at least made sense
