I've been feeling so much hostility from everyone around me. The problem is that I feel in my gut that I'm just making things up to make myself feel better about my own shortcomings.

What I've discovered is that happy people cannot sympathize with someone who is upset without being dragged down with them. And sad people cannot possibly be genuinely happy for someone who is happier than them.

I'm having the hardest time doing APUSH homework at the moment because my mind is so jumbled with worries. I can't even write out everything that's pissing me off right now, and it's driving me nuts.

Material goods serve as a great temporary source of happiness.
