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.

Ask someone who's done it before.
What if you don't know anyone who'se done it before?
Hell, what if you don't know anyone. What if what you're failing at isn't that simple. What if you've failed in love, or making friends, or in finding a roof to put over your head.
There are plenty of things that people can feel self pity about. If you've never felt sorry for yourself, then you're a lucky son of a bitch, because it's not that easy for everyone else to just snap out of depression and feel fine all the time.
To be honest, if you say you've never felt sorry for yourself, or been depressed about failing in something, then you're a god damn liar.
