Andy, maybe if I talk to you as if you’re another person you’ll listen. You’ve always been better at giving advice than listening to it anyway. You need to snap out of this depression bullshit and start living up to your potential. Stop feeling sorry for yourself everyday and do what you have to do. Stop thinking about the past and start thinking about your future. This breakup happened because you need to learn how to love yourself. You’ve been so caught up with making other people happy that you don’t even know how to make yourself happy. This is your opportunity to make yourself even better and to rediscover who Andy Guo truly is. It will get lonely, but who cares. It’s ok to be lonely. You’re a genuinely good person and you should never forget that. It’s a quality that’s rare to find these days and it will attract many people to you. That’s why you should never worry about being lonely. Be strong, be brave, be a little reckless. Stop overthinking things and just do it. You want to make this a good story to tell your kids some day. You don’t want the story to be “one time I was heartbroken and depressed. the end.” No, you’re better than that and you know you are. You’ve done it before and you can do it again. Just try to make progress everyday. Force yourself to do what you need to do and everything will become much easier.
