I read all I could about them, and once I had learned enough I called one. I kept telling the girl on the other end what she was supposed to tell me next, correcting her when she broke one of the counselling rules, and generally having fun with her. It didn't make me feel any better, but it made me smile a bit, and in the end it got me through what was the worst night of my life. After that, I started to cope a little. Billy's wisdom is quite perceptive, happiness cannot be a constant state. Sometimes you can go through a happiness drought of sorts, but as everyone else has said things will get better. In the meantime, try to focus yourself onto something else, perhaps something that doesn't provide happiness or sadness, but is fulfilling nonetheless. Life doesn't exist on the happiness axis alone. If it did, I'd be screwed, because I hate working. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> In the end it would be a shame to waste your life by ending it. No matter what your beliefs are, you only get one pass through in this world. Me, I'm trying to experience as much of it as possible, both the good and the bad. When you have a bad feeling, or something goes wrong, just mark it off as a part of life and move on to something better. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /><img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> is going to happen...let it, it's no big deal in the long run. That's not to trivialize what can happen, because there are some truly awful things in the world, but in the end it's just what life has thrown your way, and there are plenty of experiences to be had. The past is just that, you should concern yourself with the present and the future. *steeles his fingers* Stop seeking happiness, Uzumaki, and happiness shall seek you *falls off the mountain* Let me know if there is anything I can do for you.</blockquote>
