things to remember that will keep saving my life over and over again
1) "Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, 'So what.' That's one of my favorite things to say. 'So what.'
'My mother didn't love me.' So what.
'My husband won't ball me.' So what.
'I'm a success but I'm still alone.' So what.
I don't know how I made it through all the years before I learned how to do that trick. It took a long time for me to learn it, but once you do, you never forget." ~Andy Warhol
2) "Attachment is the source of all suffering." ~Buddha
I want to get "so what" tattooed across my wrist so I can look at it every time one of my stupid fucking insignificant problems pops up and starts swimming around in my brain.
Also, I think it was T who taught me to view myself as a character in a really angsty movie. When I see myself in this sort of detached way, my behavior seems comically overdramatic and I have to laugh.
