It's not easy, it can hurt, it can last too long, and it's not really a fun thing to look something that is bothering you or bugging you straight in the eye and do something about it.""And that's just because you've only removed the part of the problem that you can see, the part that is visible to yourself or others without getting deeper into the realm and into the issue that was affecting your life.""Ignore the fact that I kind of just implied you're a cow.
