Haha how did you know I was going? My friend is getting me tix for my Bday. I'm making out pretty good this year!
Whenever I find myself wallowing in my own puddle of pain, I find it most helpful to go do something for someone else. At my worst, I sponsored a child in India for 2 years, but there are lots of things you can do from going through clothes to donate to helping at a soup kitchen.
Not only does it remind you that your life isn't so bad, but doing something for other people forces you to stop focusing on yourself
I know what you mean about being a nice person in a world that doesn't appreciate it. I struggle with that every day. If I go out and run errands and hold 10 different doors for people, maybe two will say thank you. It's disheartening, but I try to keep choosing to be the nice person.
