Well, the way I see it (now, after having had some Real Life stuff put things into perspective), the best way to get past these issues is to really, truly examine how badly your life could really suck. You could have been born in Afghanistan. You could be disabled. You could be living under a bridge. Yes, you have a job you hate, but as someone on Seinfeld once said, "There's a support group for that. It's called 'everybody.'" Because, really, how many people do we know who are really doing what they wanted to do with their lives? It's easy to blame our parents, but, once we get to a certain age, we need to recognize that maybe we made some bad choices on our own. It also helps to acknowledge that no one has a perfect family, because such a thing doesn't exist outside of fantasy land. We all have regrets, but, dwelling on them is pointless. Carpe diem - for what it is, because your life is your life, and you are the only one who can get the most out of it.

Oh, I KNOW things could be worse. They could be a hell of a lot worse. I still have a good imagination, so I have no delusions that this is anywhere near rock bottom.

Because, really, how many people do we know who are really doing what they wanted to do with their lives?I know A LOT of people don't like their jobs. But I don't think that's a good enough reason to not want a job that I like. I mean, I HAD a job that I liked - and I know it wasn't perfect (I'm not viewing it with rose-colored glasses of nostalgia) but I did still really like it far more often than not
