Q: I'm 26 going on 27 (birthday's in a couple of weeks). During the past year, I encountered all of sorts of trouble. I lost my best friend to an on-the-job accident. I worked a job that I loved at first but ended up crushing my soul. My childhood skin condition came back with a vengeance. To top it all off, I had to give up the girl I loved for almost seven years just to stop my so-called family from giving me grief. It's obvious I'm not looking forward to celebrating my 27th. What's the point when life wasn't kind to me during the past twelve months?
A: It's simple. Your still here and you need to continue. Ask yourself if your best friend would condone your attitude. And what would he tell you.
