RecordProducer Posted November 28, 2010 Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) I just noticed that people have posted in my thread from a few weeks ago, so I wanted to update you guys without reviving the miserable thread and inviting replies to the original post. I ditched the fake friend: the booze. That alone made me feel much better. I also dropped out of a horroble course, so I focused on four other lovely courses. Here I am, preparing for my exams which are starting in a week, and then I have a month off. I am in good terms with my ex, still hate his friends, though. His mom is gone and my mom should join me in a couple of months, God willing. When I feel fearful about the future, I tell myself to have faith, because we can't see our own cards anyway. I also have faith that I'll find true love and achieve success career-wise, all within the scope of my capabilities and whatever mission I was assigned when I was brought into this world. I still cope with thoughts of uncertainty; I am scared of losing the people I love, and I am scared of violence and accidents, but I try not to think about it. In other words, I am scared of the things I really have no control over. I realize I have a problem making new friends because I don't trust anyone, especially women, because all my girlfriends have always betrayed me. Part of the problem is that my parents have always been my best friends, and I'm so used to having such friends who identify their happiness with my own, that I find it painful to see that other people don't really care as much. (Yeah, having great parents has some downsides, too). Altogether, I am in a much better place, so I wanted to update the folks who put a lot of thought and effort in comforting and helping me, and I wanted to send a message to the sufferers that the wheel of life keeps turning and a bright day comes after the darkness. The place to look for strength is within ourselves and once we find it, the clouds just start to clear up and to make space for some good changes. A funny philosophical thought comes to mind: happiness is like a light switch - you have to get up to turn it on, you can't do it while lying down on the floor. Quankanne, thank you so much for your thoughtful post in the old thread. Edited November 28, 2010 by RecordProducer
