When nothing and everything makes sense.

First I just want to say I'm very sorry for your losses and your circumstance. I can't imagine what it must be like.

But I will say this...

No matter what our situations are, good or bad, we must always remember that the only peace and happiness we will ever have in this world comes from ourselves.

Sad as it is, nothing in this world can't be lost. Money, power, respect, friends, family, health etc. It's all on loan to us.

So what is happiness then? Is it just being lucky enough to not lose these things?

The only true and lasting happiness comes from you. If your happiness depends on anything other than yourself, its not true lasting happiness.

As far as being analytical and dwelling on your situation at hand...dont. No good comes from it as you should know. Live in the now, in the present. The Now is where your life is, live there. You can't change the past, but in the present you can choose all the change you wish to make happen. Don't let yourself drift to the past, nothing can be done there. Just breathe, look around you, and live now.

You are in a rough situation, and nobody can say otherwise. But heres the thing, you can't let the situation happen to you. You have to make something happen out of the situation. Don't be a reaction to the world around you. Take action based on the world around you.

I don't know your circumstances intimately enough to tell you what to do in specifics, but I can tell you that there is always a way through to the light with all these issues. There is always something you can do, with your mother, with your brother, with your job, with respect to having friends. If you want change, then make a change. No matter how hard it is, no matter the odds or difficulties go after that change you want. Make no mistake, you and you alone create the miracles you need in life. The alternative is being a reaction to your situation...sitting at home with a six pack and xanax.

Your in a difficult place. There is no doubt about that. You can't always choose the situations you're in. But you absolutely have the power to choose the outcome. So please, unless you're happy with the life you have, choose to be proactive. Choose change. Choose hope. Choose to make a miracle.

Peace always.

 

That's rough man and I'm sure the extremity of the situation is what's keeping people from replying. Best of luck though, in all seriousness. We're all gonna have to bite that one day with our parents -- maybe it's good you're learning to cope now then later.. I seen my mom cry when I was 6 years old when her father died. I felt every second of it even then. It's nothing I'd ever look forward to. Just thinking about that day can bring back the vibe. You gotta keep marching though dude, everybody hits this rut, everybody. It always falls apart, it's just what's falling that changes for different people. Love and respect man. I hope this situation ends up bringing you character, your title seems to indicate you're trying to keep a somewhat open mind.. seriously man, all the best. I'm hoping for you.

Later

 

I wish you the best of everything. Please don't give up. you are an inspiration
