You know, I’ve been afraid too

You know, I’ve been afraid too, you’re not alone.  Every morning, I used to open my eyes and be afraid of the world that I had to face.  It wasn’t the way I wanted it either.  I wanted that kind of purity that you found in your room; but that trapped me in my self pity, and I realized that, my caring for myself was caring for other people, and I had to go out and meet those other people.  It’s quite simple, you’ll see.

Self pity? Who the fuck would feel sorry for themself? If you aren't succeeding at something, change strategies. If you don't know a way to succeed, ask someone who's done it well before. Alternatively, if everyone on earth says you're fucked and there's nothing you can do, well then that's that, no reason to feel bad, there's nothing you can do about it anyways.
