Realization
You know, looking back on the past at the people I know or knew, I've come up with something.
I noticed how often people get upset and complain about the same things. There's a difference between rambling about a crush and rambling about how you're not pretty or not talented, or how you're a waste of life.
Nobody is a waste of life unless all they do is sit back and not do anything. Stop complaining about being fat and being depressed, and not having any friends and how people hate you. If you have problems with yourself, GO FIX THEM. I will show sympathy for a little bit, but if you're still complaining after 4 years or whatever, then just go away. You need to fix your problems if you're so distraught by them.
Don't go saying you're going to commit suicide now, because if you really wanted to do it you'd have done it a while back.
Don't complain about how you're really not what you seem to be, because you could very easily fix that. Go out there and get more friends, and don't build faux-confidence -- just GET confident. If you end up going out there trying to get more friends, but find that being outgoing and the social butterfly doesn't suit you, then go back to just the few friends you have and chill. Just stop complaining. You can't let yourself give up, and you can't be weak in the world. That's the only reason why you'd ever be a waste of life. You really DON'T need to drink or anything to have a life, you just have to do what you want to do. Have fun how YOU want to have fun. Just because I go out every weekend and drink a little bit doesn't mean I'm doing it just to fit in. I'm doing it because I like being around people, and so what if I like the taste of rum and Pepsi? If I want to twirl around in my front yard without a care in the world, and think about the man I can't get over until I'm too tired to even spell out his name "Daniel Robert Merry", I'm going to. It's what I want to do, and if it makes me happy I'm going to do it. I know what I'm doing, and I'm not letting anybody, or anything, control me. I control my happiness.
Look, go watch the movie Kamikaze Girls. It has a very good message, and it's accurate in this -- humans are cowards in the face of happiness.
Seriously. You need to do what makes you happy.
Don't act tough to build a shell around yourself, if all you're going to do is cry about it at the end of the night and break the shell down all over again. Don't hang around people that don't let you talk about shit just because THEY don't like it.
Don't hang around people that you don't want to talk to just because they make you uncomfortable.
Don't hang around people that drag you down, and keep doing it. When you know what upsets you, turn right around and fucking castrate it. Don't keep letting it sodomize you. Because as a human, you're better than that. All humans can be better than that, but the ones that don't are the ones that have no hope.
There is something good about you somewhere. Don't forget it.
