Listen, mate, I understand that a lot of things seem 'shit' these days, and that sometimes you need to hold onto something, take stock in whatever you can.
That sometimes you feel that nobody else understands you, that nobody could. Because, surely, if there was a god out there, he would have given the same amount of happyness and sadness to everyone, and it seems like you've had more than your fair share of the bad times. And I'm not going to belittle you by talking about tribes in africa getting raped and murdered and raped and then dumped in a grave, nobody telling the tribe next door about where the body is burried, unless the tribe next door are going to rape them again. I'm not going to belittle you about the abuses and torments that people suffer each and every day... Because, at the end of the day, the new Nintendo DS will be out soon, and if you start saving really really really hard, you might be able to get one too, doesn't all those " '64 " games look good? In 3D too ! Yes, hold onto that hope. I want you to try and exersize with me, say to yourself "I _will_ have a Nintendo 3DS and a MaCatz Accessory Pack and the new Mario Kart game" 3 times over and over, there you go, don't you feel better? Chin up big fella, you can do it, the world's your oyster, just go out and make it happen.
