Self control is strength. Calmness is mastery. You have to get to a point where your mood doesn’t shift based on the insignificant actions of someone else. Don’t let others control the direction of your life. Don’t let your emotions overpower your intelligence.

Nobody is coming to rescue you, your feelings don’t matter in the real world. The only person who can save you is you. Get up and make things happen.
