My life is so chaotic right now... My boyfriend --now ex-boyfriend-- is in prison. Found out last night. For lewd acts with a minor. My world is upside down, and I feel so betrayed and alone, and... And I just need some hugs. I need someone to be my Celty, and tell me that life can suck, but its not all bad. I... I am so betrayed I can't even cry yet.

Please... Please help me.

smile, the worlds not as bad as you think, take a step back and breathe you will find answers better that way

*nods* thanks...

The world is probably even worse then you think, I mean, at least you haven't been raped or murdered. So cheer up, at least your not at the bottom of the pit, your just someone who knows a person that is at the bottom, and that has nothing to do with you. The world looks better from a optimistic view, and at least, you don't need to be a lolicon's girlfriend anymore :)

Life is kind of a bipolar mass of variables that will constantly shift haphazardly at the whim of none but all in ways we can't always seem to comprehend or consider when looking at what's going on in our lives. Life can suck, but life can also be wonderful; this is the sum of what's happening to you and how you interpret and move forward with the context you find yourself in. That is to say, if you feel that you need stability in your life, a good first step is to bring as much of that as you can to it through your mind; count your eggs after they've hatched, you know, and appreciate the little baby chickens that were born after acknowledging the eggs that weren't hatched at all. Confide in people you trust because among your family and friends, you know, you have people you can always talk to.

Speaking of people, humans are most enigmatic out of all the inhabitants of our insignificant little blue planet. The degree of control we have over things in our lives is astounding, and the range of hidden depths that go normally unplumbed within each of us isn't always noticed from the get-go. I'm sorry that you had to discover such an abhorrent thing about your ex, and I understand that the feelings that well up from a revelation like that must pile onto themselves and choke you up a bit, emotionally; but, such is life, as they say, because naturally, with humans being as strange and varied as they are, somebody will have the misfortune of running into a situation with an outcome such as yours, and the metaphorical melting pot of influences that manipulate the world threw it onto you. Don't take it personally, and don't project it onto the rest of the world; things will already start to look better if you acknowledge the event from its own scope rather than from your application of it to yourself. I know that might be hard to do, because removing yourself from yourself perspective-wise is basically impossible from a logical standpoint, but you DO have control over your perspective, and you can definitely place your faith in humanity, if not all of it, and place faith in yourself.

Sometimes people do stupid things with no regard for how it applies to themselves or other people. Some people are too weak to handle their own well-being, or otherwise experience a moment of weakness at an awful time. Humans are flawed, but that's also a great blessing, because then we have a reason to progress, a reason to advance, and we overcome our inhibitions and, together, as a people, we have great potential, for great things, and even in the past century the gains of humanity as a whole have balanced against our foolish transgressions against one another and the world. In light of that, this incident you had, this experience, it doesn't need to topple your world. Life will give you crap. Life is full of crap. And that's how it always will be, because we take crap and turn it into gold. You'll be okay, and you'll find somebody eventually, and you'll be able to go on with the people around you, with people who can interact with you in a fulfilling manner, socially, emotionally, mentally, and so on. Don't give up on the world; usually when everything looks upside down, it's you that's flipped over. Flipping yourself over is much easier than trying to lift the weight of the world on your shoulders and righting it.

I hope that helps, as it is physically impossible for me to hug you right now. I have no idea where you are and the distance between us is probably currently insurmountable :P Have a good night/morning, friendo~

Thanks, ToastyWafflz. That actually helped a lot.

life can suck
