Smashboards

Eh, not really.
I could start doing it, but it's not really a hobby of mine.
Speaking of 3DS, do you wanna add my FC?

Sure, I'll delete some of my old Monster Hunter buddies to make some room.

Just added you. Add me too ;3

Wanna smash sometime, now that you've done it?

It is done :3

Yeah, I know ;3

How you holding up, Aniny?

If you want some comfort, I'll be here for you, even though I'm just virtual to you. I care about you.

I don't think I can do much since you're like, what, 17 years older than me, but, you know, I'll try.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm just sitting in a warehouse next to a heater, wasting time on wifi. I have to leave this place before 8am each time I stay here, so I usually just stay up all night. Once day breaks and I leave, I sleep in my car if it's warm enough. Last couple days, it's been around 25°F even in the day. It's rough.

Oh, that really sucks, man.

I wish I could do more than just be kind. But, hey, I guess 13 year olds can help a little bit, huh?

I really hope you get better Aniny - I have a lot of luxury at home, I'd give you some stuff if I could.

Don't beat yourself up. It's mostly my fault that I'm in this predicament.

I remember how tough it was to be 13, 14... my heart goes out to you. If anything, I wish I could comfort you. The hormones, the social pressure, the identity crisis, the temptations and isolations... being a teenager is hard.

Just live the life God has laid out before you. Love others. Volunteer. Learn the truth. Give. Even a young person can make a huge person in other people's lives. In fact, sometimes they're best suited for the job.

But listen, I would never ask for charity. That would be wrong. I'm 30; I need to get a job and provide for myself.

Y'know, I've had a history of beating myself up a ton. Feeling worthless, hating myself, comparing myself to everyone else... it goes on and on... I don't do it as much anymore, but... I still do. And I still kind of feel the same way. Feeling that I don't deserve more than half of what I get...

I feel like I've made a difference in people lives, but I'm going so far to the point where I just don't really care about myself.

You have to realize that you are valuable and highly regarded by God.

I've had times when everyone I knew was against me, I hated my life, I was in torment, I had no one to turn to and nowhere to go. But I still had Jesus.

Even if you're not sure if you believe that for your own life, I know it's true. I know how valuable you are.

I've had depression, suicidal urges, anxiety attacks, mental breakdown... if you have any of that, you need help. Don't try to make it on your own in life. We need other people. We need that support, that sense of belonging.

And if you need medication, get it. There's no shame in that. Antidepressants didn't help my brain chemistry, but they might help you.

You know, for a homeless person and someone who's depressed (aren't you depressed? pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere) you're pretty optimistic.

That's a great way of looking at things.

I know that I'm valuable, I just feel somewhat overshadowed by others sometimes.

Pain, rejection, disappointment... they've taught me, in part, the value of the good things in life. Acceptance, belonging, the hands of a savior... they have taught me the value of everything.

Thanks for the wise words. You're a really nice guy, Aniny.
