Frustration

At some point in our lives, we have felt absolutely frustrated due to certain unfairness, either because you didn't get the mark you wanted to achieve, or because you aren't with the person you love the most, or because of a betrayal, or because your pet has disappeared.

What usually happens when something bad happens or when we receive bad news or when things don't go the way we want, we tend to blame ourselves. I know it all too well because it always happens to me. Lately, I didn't get the mark I wanted in an exam, I felt really frustrated, then I saw that my mark was the second best, which made me feel many things. On the one hand, I couldn't help but think that I am always the second or someone's second dish. Then I started to think it was because of me, my personality, my way of being, my self. I cried a bit, I hated myself for a moment. Yet, after a while, I ended up thinking that there was nothing wrong in me, others didn't do as well as me, so there was no problem with me at all, which made me feel satisfied with the result and with all my efforts. I did my best; if I hadn't done it, it would have been understandable to regret and complain. If you have done everything, then you must feel content. At least you tried it!!

Now a friend of mine is living something similar, but in a different way. I hate that she feels bad with herself, although it is a normal step in frustration. However, what happens to her is that she is furious with the situation and wishes desperately to do something, but she doesn't know what/how, which makes her feel very stressed as well.

Hence, I highly recommend to relax. Do what you love to do, get distracted and let time passes by. Everything is fine, everything is going to be okay; maybe not now, but tomorrow. When a door closes, another one does. How do I know it? Because I have experienced injustices, even though I behaved well, and then I have lived something wonderful. For that reason, we should not lose hope, not even in injustices.
