Damn, this was so hard to read and felt so close to me...

I used to be the kid that got the best grades and didn't care to study in the last semester too. I had severe family problems, and my father also tried to attack my mom.

I grew up left behind and with no one to ever support or guide me. I ended up isolating myself from society to such a degree that my life went downhill and I messed up everything to become a disfunctional adult who can't evem get a job. I didn't get into drugs, but isolation and depression did a similar thing to me... I ended up losing all my dreams, stopping doing all tbe things i was good at, and kinda losing even my cognition with time.

I can't express in words how painful reading about your friend's story was to me. I feel so sorry for him.

Trust me, it feels very close to me too. I get it. I really do.

I hope things improve for you. We only live once, so make the most of whatever you have. That’s what I do. That’s all we can do.

I try not to resent the world myself. None of us asked to be here, so we’re all kind of winging it.

I believe that beauty is everywhere. I believe that if we spend as much of our time as we can focusing on that beauty and not our own situation, we can be happy. Sure, we have to pretend a bit to cover up the things that aren’t beautiful, but we can find beauty and we can make beauty.
