That’s what he said as I asked how to be less afraid of public speaking. What he did say is that you get used to it.

Often I think in life we ask ourselves of trying to cure things, to fix things; to find solutions.

In reality though, sometimes we just get used to it and that’s the best we can ask for. The pain, the sadness, and at times the happiness.

But some things in life we can’t fix, and we can’t cure. But we still have to live today, tomorrow and onward. We can’t give up today and we can always try again. And as we live that life we get used to it.

The pain doesn’t go away, the loneliness doesn’t go away, and nor does the fear. Money won’t change that, status won’t change that, and expensive tastes don’t either. But acceptance can help soothe the pain, and kindness can help you forget.

At least it does for me, and that’s been my answer. And perhaps one day I’ll find a real fix for the root of the problem, but maybe, it just doesn’t get better.
