Dear Shirley, Earth Angel:

Problems, like with the processing of your financial aid application, the noise in your java class, difficulties with academic subject matter, such as with midpoint rectangles and whether genes are linked or separate on a chromosome…. the inner bully bullying you directly or projecting itself to others… these kinds of problems and difficulties will continue. Some will be solved, others will appear, and some problems are long, long term.

So best learn to accept this reality, that things are not like we wish they were, and difficulties and problems are unavoidable part of reality. Solve those problems that can be solved.

Regarding the inner bully projecting itself to others- notice the inner bully in other people- see how they too struggle with it and you will not feel the exception.

“‘Let this earth angel unfurl her wings, awaken the fire in her heart and light up the world with her authentic voice.” in peaceful times and in difficult times.

“For as long as I am still breathing and my mind keeps thinking, this earth angel is going to follow her heart home!” – make your brain and your heart your home. Make yourself as comfortable as you can being you. This will make you stronger in the face of daily problems and difficulties.
