Have you ever noticed how people always say it will get better, things will pass, yet one day just rolls into the next and then one year rolls into the next etc, and before you know it your a walking breathing cliche. Everyone is different so recovery times vary from person to person.
I sometimes find it patronizing when people say it will get better, They can't know that, no one can.
But if there is one thing i have found out in this cruel cruel world it's this,,,,,I believe in me!!! and that's all the belief i need to counteract how cruel life can be. Believe in yourself and it will all fall into place.
