Hey there blog-readers!
Today, I'm gonna post about something that frequently happens to me, and that I'm experiencing a lot at this stage in my life.
We're gonna talk about getting discouraged.
Getting discouraged is a pain, and it can happen in many ways. For example, I get discouraged when I watch other people drum, or other people do tricking, because they're always so much better than I am. While I understand that I can't be the best at everything, I just get this "why bother?" feeling in my stomach. Its one of my many blunders and I just can't get over it. It happens consistently, and is the cause of many of my world-famous mood-swings or "roller-coasters".
It also happens with me in terms of friendships, especially with girls.
I get rejected a LOT, often for no particular reason, and it discourages me.
I feel like it's not worth even trying to maintain a friendship with a girl, because I fear in the end the inevitable rejection, and heartbreak on my side but relief on theirs.
This is the thing though - I go from feeling slightly rejected, to majorly rejected.... then I start thinking about all the past rejections, and then I just feel absolutely unloved.
There is this massive spiral effect that happens, where I just drop down and down and down...
I just can't get out of it.
This usually turns around when I pray about it, however. I usually feel better instantly after prayer, if not it just goes slowly uphill from that point...
So pray about getting discouraged... relax, do things you enjoy and that don't require too much skill, and you'll be set :)
