Resilient
June 06, 2005
Has somebody ever said something that so invalidates your existence and your purpose that it hurts to even wake up the next morning? I know it's silly to let anybody affect you like that, but it's bound to from time to time. That happened to me this weekend. It's not really important what was said or by whom, but when you put a lot of energy and time and heart into something and have somebody you look up to disregard it or shoo it away like an annoying fly on a hot day, it can really take the wind out of your sails. That's how I feel today. Let down. Void of energy, motivation, and any sense of meaning.
I know that feeling. It's rough. But keep in mind that they could have been having a bad day and weren't really conscious of what effect their words might have on others. I've also been in that position and then I felt like a worthless lump after I realized I'd made someone else feel that way.
