Things aren't really ever as bad as they seem and life has a funny way of making things work out.
Maybe it's just me but I just nod and go with the flow, most times stuff turns out okay.
Six months ago I was financially unstable, lonely, and seriously lacking a sense of purpose. I drank too much, I stayed up faaaaaar too late playing games, and I just drifted trough the motions of waking up and going to a job where I nearly broke my back every day only to come home to an empty house of sleeping people. I was nearly broke all the time trying to pay for rent and I'd have to get friends to pay for my meals or just bear though the hunger...
It was pretty bad and I didn't really know it because I had become comfortable in that repetition.
Then a big dumb fox and bunny showed up and handed me a camera and some ideas and I instantly gained a redefined sense of purpose.
They showed me a community like a black hole and I tumbled into it. The rest is history.
So long boring story short: Just going with the flow got me where I am now pretty much.
Following Ace around to work got me a stable job where I feel welcome and challenged to do well. I now have a stimulating hobby of making weekly videos with good friends where I get to go out and do the thing I've always wanted to do for a living. I'm in a committed relationship as a direct result of my internet hobby. I have money to spend on food and the things I need to stay well. Just.. yeah.
Things are never as bad as they seem. Stick with the flow and you'll be just fine. If it isn't fine then you maybe need to think about the state of what you're comfortable with. Sometimes you gotta jump to more favorable rivers to flow with.
Sorry/ not sorry this got a little personal.

Hey, I don't want to sound too sappy in this comment either but, I thank you also!
I hope that I can be more of a part of you guy's circle of furs because its something I want also.
And yeah, funny how sometimes people or things can just...pop into your life, throw something at you and then...BOMB!...you're hitting things with a redefined sense of purpose and want. Or whatever.
