We’ll take our hearts outside, leave our lives behind and watch the stars come out.
(Blank & Jones – Nightfly)
Sometimes the hardest thing to avoid in life is feeling sorry for yourself. Let’s face it, self-loathing is somewhat addictive. And if you’re going to go down, you want to go down in flames. You want to be the most pathetic bugger out there.
I think feeling sorry for yourself and putting focus on only the negative things in your life is therapeutic. It allows you to deal with some of the woes that you haven’t dealt with yet; it allows you to share some of that burden with the people around you; getting the sympathies that we don’t usually get in our everyday life.
So for all you miserable people out there -- keep being miserable. I mean, at least until you’re ready to be happy. When you’ve dealt with all of it and you’re ready to pick up your life where you left off, call me. I’ll be ready to take you out and we’ll paint the town red.

For accountability issues, please read "The Oz Principle". The four steps: See it, Own It, Solve It, Do It. See your issues and be the Martyr but then move on. FYI.

Emotions and feelings are a little harder to deal with. Not quite as concrete as work-related problems.
