*1184* Look, I know youve been feeling sad lately, Ive seen it building up inside over the past few weeks. I guess were not exactly best friends or anything, just housemates, but I still care. I try to help here and there (obviously Ive got a lot of my own things to deal with) and in a perfect world, I could help you out more. But since you seem to be rejecting my advancements to help you, for whatever reason, I guess Ill say what I want to say to you here instead: You have got to learn to make yourself happy, because the path you choose in life is not always going to be forgiving. I think youre a nice, thoughtful person, but (I say this with love) you need to have thicker skin. Ive overheard you at the house table talking about whats stressing you all the time, and it usually has to do with schoolwork, relationships, general uncertainty, etc. Obviously, these things are very stressful (as I and many others here would agree), but I just think you let it get to you too much, and it becomes a negative thing. Ive seen you when you are less sad - you are a great person to be around, some kind of magical fountain of positive energy. But when youre down, it hides all of those wonderful features that make you you, and I can see you suffering. So what I would say is this: figure out a way to make things effect you in a less negative way. This will require you to learn more about yourself, but then again, thats one of the reasons youre in college right now, isnt it? This University is rich with resources, both through the school and through the student body, that can help you do just that. So get out there and get involved with something, because this is one of the few times in your life where it is stupid-easy to get involved in pretty much anything at all. Youre wasting your time ruminating like you are, and you know that, so go make changes. Last of all, know that I am only one of the many people who love you and want whats best for you. So really, as far as being sad goes, youre in a pretty damn good position right now. You have all you need to make yourself and those around you happier; go do it, dammit.
