Take all the time you need, but do not berate yourself, or allow the acts of others to determine your path. You cannot give them that power, it is a life-sucking, demoralizing place to live.

Thank you for saying all that. Yeah, it's hard. Just feels so alone, and when you're alone, you want help, right? And then the ones you cared about betrayed you. Who else is there to turn to? I understand they have their own problems, but I guess I'm just tired of being stepped on. People shouldn't use me or you or anyone to solve their own problems. And there's nothing you can do about it. But I guess right now we just gotta focus on ourselves to make ourselves happy. And there's nothing wrong with that, right? And you're right, I'm not gonna let them control my life...not anymore.
