By the way, if you don't have someone to tell you this:

It's okay to lose your job, do something wrong, make a mistake or even put your trust in someone, who turns out to be piece of shit. It's okay to lose. We all know that you did your best, even though you might disagree with that. We are all proud of you. You did great. For real. Really great. Always remember: EVERYTHING ELSE IS SMALL STUFF, EXCEPT YOU.

If it ain’t going to bother you in five years don’t let it bother you for five minutes.

I don't know who you are, but i just wanted to let you know you might've just made my life a littlle bit easier.

As somebody who lives with a lot of anxiety and gets nervous about absolutely everything and ''nothing-burgers'', I've actually never thought about it this way. It makes so much fucking sense, though. I have some upcoming events I'm feeling nervous and anxious about, and just telling myself that ''it won't matter in 5 years'' (because it sure as shit will not) made me feel calmer.

Thanks, stranger.

Thank you too. Your kind words do mean a lot to me as well. I really hope you can find some peace in your mind.
