you will find plenty every day to discourage you, and if you concentrate on that you can get into a toilet bowl quality spiral. Recently we have had to deal with: losing my dad, losing a testicle, losing 2 jobs, losing our home, and a long list of poo.

I can: get blitzed or sit down and cry or get PO's and blame, or or or...

Or I can say: those things do not define me, those challenges will not beat me, I am not who my circumstances say I am. And keep fighting, no matter what. Refuse to believe the junk or be ruled by it.

Just like the spring- its time to cut. Yeah, work to keep food on the table, but cut out the extraneous time wasters that keep you from pursuing that dream. Pick one day a week that you can hang with friends and relax, but the rest of your time, spend dat free time doing what is going to make those dreams a reality.

Its tough but you're gonna make it brah

You can, and need to find a ground that you know you are suppose to stand on.. hence, stand your ground, this is the place where you know everything is as it should be for you. If you stand in a place where you know in your heart things are wrong, most things around you will never be right.

Rule number one, never work at being what another man defines as being "honorable", Honorable is is being true to what you know and and doing what you know is right for you..

What is your advice for someone who always sees their self behind everyone else in life?

Most people I know are graduating college next year, but it took me a while to decide what I wanted to do. I still have 3 years left.

The only person you are competing with is yourself. Life isn't some pre-programmed process. Experience life on your terms and truly start to think in terms of IDGAF what others are doing or the expectations that others have of you.

-Figure out early what is important; you cannot do this early enough
-Dont spend so much money on liquor. I could have bought a brand new SUV by now
-Pick a few things and do them well and stick with them, quit chasing random crap
-Select a career you love regardless of the money, cause you never know when you will be kicked to the curb, unless you want to be self-employed.
-You treat people like crap, you will get treated like crap. Expect it, and no cryin
-Eat right.
-Whats outside (aesthetic) is important, but whats more important is who you are inside (no whiteknight, just reality, deal with it)
-Insecure people always have to have someone/something else to blame. Dont be that guy.

(More later, and BTW no amount of rage on your part will change the validity of my words):

Use the angst and channel it into writing. It really works. I have written some of my best stuff when totally pissed.

Understanding goes a long way, but do not enable someone else to destroy themselves. Call it out. Help them face it. But in the end, its up to them, you cant do it for them

Thanks a lot OP, heaps of great advice. I'm going through some crap now... I'm in a shaky relationship at the moment and basically within the next few days will result in me being either single or still with her...

Basically, I KNOW that she is not right for me, and I want to let her go so that she could be with another guy, they would do really well together. But something is holding on to her, and my chest feels heavy... Any advice on letting go of someone?

Start fresh. Start gym. Start sups. Start write. Start positive.

The thing is, her and that guy have been REALLY good friends since before I met her, and ALL of the people in my friends circle have commented that they look good together. I just feel a bit like she's waiting for us to break up so she can go with him, which I can understand, because I'd hate to be in a relationship with someone who I'm not compatible with, yet have the person I AM compatible with stand 5 metres away...

As of right now, I want to do the good deed and tell her that she should start a relationship with him but something inside me is holding on to her and does not want to end it...
