Life is trying to make the world what you like it to be. Terence likes to read.

Here's a good trick i find: imagine you are a clone of yourself. All the bad shit in your life happened to the original you, but YOU can walk away scot free, examining this new world.
Clone yourself.
be free.
with a fresh heart.
if it sounds silly, play around with it, change it, until the idea suits you. Then do it.
thats my suggestion.

@ohwell121 no you don't, if you belived in what terrence says that the goal is to become your own author of your story and have any damn ending you want. your comments reeks of poor me and victimization thats why i dont belive you really get what he is talking about, your the author and right now your playing the "my life sucks character" play the my life is what i make it, youll be happier.
i believe this, just problem is my life sucks, so its a novel that sucks...
fucking hate that...
