Perhaps there lies hope for you in the unimaginable and the uncertain. It is very likely that your future will be better than your present, simply because you have the will to work towards actualizing your potential. Don't give up the fight. You will surmount your present obstacles and challenges in your time - in God's time - and not according to the schedules of others. Your path is unique. Try to enjoy the process of personal growth along the way.
The measure of achievement lies not in how high the mountain, but in how hard the climb.
The measure of success lies only in how high one feels he must climb to get there.Keep working, but try to be patient. It is doubtful that you will reach Nirvana by the time you get done reading this. Be merciful with yourself. Have an appreciation for your challenges and don't beat yourself up for not meeting with immediate success the long-term goals stipulated by yourself or others.
Take a nice deep breath. That was the first breath of your new life.
I've been through a lot of crap, too. Fortunately, I had some very positive and constructive people around me to learn from.
