It gets better...
15 years ago
I'm posting this via my smartphone, so please bear with me as its my only current form of internet at the moment.
I wanna tell everyone out there with some sort of hardship that anything can be fixed with enough dedication. Anything can be done with the right resolve. And I want to make sure that what I have to say in this journal is not meant to offend anyone. If anything, I want this to inspire some people out there. And what I have to say is simple:
Don't give up.
I know things have been hard for some people, but you just can't give up like all hope is lost. Because it isn't. Its only as lost as you make it. I have had the worst couple of months imaginable. I lost my job before I could move out on my own, my parents separated before I could leave, forcing me to chose sides regarding my allegiance (even though I'm still a neutral party), no company offering full time jobs with an hourly wage or salary will hire me, the only companies that will hire me are ones that require me to pay to take a test to make money via commissions that I more than likely won't make, I have bill collectors upon bill collectors calling me every hour asking for money I don't have, and the money I gain from unemployment not even being half of what I'm used to making and not enough to satisfy everyone and survive myself. Plus, just recently I was kicked out of my own house for finally standing up to my mothers bullshit, finding refuge at my fathers house with no way of communicating with my friends and oved ones online other than my phone, and the only happiness I had has been lowered from what I'm used to over something I thought was resolved nearly six months ago.
But here I stand, just as strong and proud as ever. According to everything I just mentioned I've been through, I should be depressed as fuck, crying my eyes out trying to figure out why all of this was happening to me in one sitting. But I'm not. My resolve hasn't been greater, and my determination hasn't been stronger. This will probably be the worst I've ever fallen, but I can pretty much guarantee you that ill never fall this far again. I'm not giving up. Not by a long shot. A good friend of mine told me that when the universe says "fuck you," you take what you want and make your own destiny.
Well, ill be doing just that.

These problems come and go but in the end they are nothing more than a comical memory. Your parents split up and down the road you'll still have them both and that isn't changing. You lost your job, yet another one waits around the corner that might even be better for you than your old one. You lost contact with friends and loved ones for a while, making it all more special when you get to reunite with them later and have more to talk about.
Bottom line no need to even let these get to you or weigh you down, when you're older and having a hard time you'll be looking back on these moments and saying "I lived through that and I can handle this" right? :3
So... let's go up!
*applaud*
It's a harsh world... And to simply give up and have a half-empty view does no one any good. You know this already, so I'm preaching to the choir, but I wish there would be a lot more people who would have understood this train of though.
It is really easy to know this state of mind, but to maintain is is difficult, this I can attest to... but it always gets better.
The main character always gets the happy ending if they fight for it.
