So I came across this little bit of advice on how to get a fresh perspective on dealing with the things that come up in life and thought I should share it here:
Quote:
"Now Try This! Whatever’s going on in your life right now, you have problems, slowdowns, complications, and frustrations (call me psychic). Instead of resisting and resenting these difficulties, reframe them as a road of trials. See yourself as the hero in a story being told around a thousand campfires— the tale of Michelle and the Faulty Plumbing, or Doug’s Great Combat with the Supervisor from Hell. Go on a quest. Tell the story. You’ll find that the more annoying or even devastating an adventure is to live, the better wayfinding tale it makes." - Martha Beck

Right now, my story would be Darth and the Struggle to Stay Awake or maybe Clash of the Eyelids ;)
SeraphicStar

SeraphicStar has just returned half-victorious from his personal war with the dreaded Examomancer and the Testdemons he summoned to assist him!
I love this idea! :)
Haha! I love this.

Clash of the Eyelids, you're so silly Darth XD
Celestina and the dreaded pirate Jitters!
