[quote=@Etcetera] Oftentimes, the world seems like a place of rejection and hate. This is because it is. However, the bright side is that others are out there just like yourself that are waiting just as you are. For all we know, this is the path that had to be taken in order for the good outcome to occur. You may have avoided something that could have ruined your life. The fact is that we don't know. But when we dwell on that which we do not know, our vision becomes clouded, and the truth that was there all along is obscured. Life is a game of push and pull, and even if it's pushing you right now, you have to pull yourself along, as well as anything that might come with you. Like dragging a rope through the mud, things just keep sticking, and making it harder. However, at the end, you're stronger because of the work and pain you went through, and everything you drag with you falls away. For there is a time to love, and a time to hate; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up. It'll get better, but you have to keep moving forward.
