It's crazy when you come to the realization to your problems is you. No one can make your problems greater than what you portray them to be. Not all problems are big, but if you upgrade them to a higher level of what it really is, then that's on you. Especially in relationships, problems are only obstacles. You can let them control the relationship and possibly ruin or corrupt it, or you can downplay them and as a team with your partner, YOU GUYS control the problem by fixing it. Another thing about "problems" are that people always tend to look at the negative side to them, but rarely anyone wants to look at the positive side of things. Not all problems are bad, they are what you make of it.
I've come to a realization that all my problems were upgraded to a point where it basically took over my life. I was depressed, stressed, and just angry with how the world treating me. But the world just has its lessons...and everyday is just a test of how you handle these situations. I've come to realize that not all people are bad, they just make mistakes. Mistakes don't define you, your way of handling them do.
Problems...they're only factors in your life, but its up to you to let it control you or you control it.
