You cannot control many things in life. The part of living "Life", is knowing what is right from wrong, what is pure or tainted, and searching for the truth behind all the lies. The one thing you CAN control, is whether or not, you let those things put you down or lift you up. You can decide to be alone, drown in your own sorrow and give up--or you can decide, to let it make you stronger, become happy and optimistic, and be grateful to have the beautiful things in life, that is worth living for. All you can do, is look back on your own life, learn from your mistakes, and keep on going to have a better future. Along the way, you WILL be pushed down, and feel helpless or hopeless, but always remember, life WILL get better, and you'll end up, being happier. It will all be worth it.
