Thank you all for your nice replies to me. I have been feeling very touched and learning a little bit more from the replies.

I really liked the point that was brought up about "life is what you make it" or "life is in your own hands". I feel like I strive to make life good for me the best I can; and so many times I come up short. It's like I pick myself up so that I can be battered back down again. Trouble and being with bad company approaches me very easily, while good things don't.
