Let Me Rot Away Comments

Lighten up! You're only 17 years old, (and stop using 'cause' for because.) Make something of yourself. Invent your life. Make it what you want it to be. Your life is a gift. The only thing holding you back is yourself! If this sounds harsh, it is not meant to be. Go out and make some friends. Introduce yourself to others. Act interested and be interested in them. To have a friend you must be a friend. Look around. Life could be worse. You could be dead in Burma or earthquake battered China. I realize that I do not know what you have been through, but it does not really matter. You are responsible in determining what happens next. Savor your life while you can. Be thankful. Use your sorrow to contrast the sweet in life. Use it to help you appreciate the good things.
