These are the things you tell yourself when shit gets hard, when you have to put yourself in a situation in which you look stupid and feel embarrassed. You tell yourself that it happens to everyone. You watch a stupid TV show in which the characters get in far more terrible situations than your own. You talk to somebody about something that has nothing to do with the situation at hand. Better yet, help them with one of their problems, instead. You drink a lot of water or tea and think about something funny. Then you sleep.
