Never ask permission to regroup, use the restroom, take a break or get your head straight. Just do it. Take control of your own mental, physical and emotional help. No one else is responsible for that, which also means no one else has control over whether you can or should attend to it. Believe it or not, you can walk away from any situation and start over. It's not always easy, in fact sometimes it's down right fu***ng hellacious. But what's worse? Staying in a situation that makes you unhappy, not "doesn't make you happy" but DOES make you unhappy. Happiness is a choice and it is yours to make. So is unhappiness. Suffering is NOT merit. Reaction to and resilience in the face of suffering is merit. Not letting your bad situations turn you into a s**thead is merit. You may not get to choose all of the circumstances and experiences in your life, but you do get to choose what kind of person comes out of them. You can either be a bitter, overly critical, sadistic, emotional as***le, or you can be an empathetic, easy going, level headed, compassionate nice person
