"Accept the feelings like you're gonna when you think a certain way. You're going to have certain emotions and so accept them and give yourself some time and give yourself time to be frustrated or angry Or grieve or cry like whatever it is man Give yourself time because if you're feeling that way Then that's your body's emotional response to whatever it is and somebody else might be like this is not a big deal But in that moment it is to you and I think give yourself the respect of validating how you feel Right." - Dr. Arman Taghizadeh
