It shouldn't be about feeling sorry for not fulfilling your work. Include the memory of a heart-warming meal. If such events can signify the end of the day, wouldn't there be a small change? We need to be able to protect ourselves from ourselves. In order to be strong, we need to build ourselves. The person who criticises you, should be you. The person who encourages you, should be you too. You haven't had the time to look inside yourself. Look deeper and discover what you want.
