Cheer up, Emo Kid.

Nothing's ever that bad. Seriously.

Instead of looking what they do have, they seem to just concentrate on what they lack. They in turn have feelings of inadequacies that lead them to a slump that they feel that they can't get out of.

I've heard of really weak excuses of why someone is feeling down - from things like:

"Oh, the work is too hard"
"I hate my job"
"My girlfriend dumped me"
"My life's headed nowhere"

...and so on and so forth.

For goodness sakes, to those people, seriously, get over yourselves. You're still alive, healthy, with a roof over your head, and have family and friends who care about you. You wake up everyday with probably the greatest gift you can ever receive: A brand new day, and yet here you are, moping because of the most trivial things.

I've seen kids cancer ridden with only a chance of survival, and yet that slight chance is enough to fuel their optimism. They have the biggest smile on their faces, even despite being constantly prodded by needles, enduring chemotherapy, and battling constant fatigue.

So to those mopers out there, remember:

Nothing is ever that bad.

For reals.
