This is for you.

Yes you, the young man/woman who are going through life. You, the main protagonist in your own, awesome story; your life.

This is for you.

I am not a heavy contributor on the Escapist. Hell, I am not a heavy contributor on any public forums, on the internet or in real life. I silently watch other people make up their opinions, discuss, scream and tear at each other. I gather facts for myself, and through time, if I see the need, I make a contribution in hope that it will make things better. This is one of them. And it is for you.

I watch young people, such as myself, battle their way through life, meeting obstacle upon obstacle, complaining, crying, looking down upon one self. Thinking worse about one self and letting destructive thoughts take control of your life, because you could not overcome one specific obstacle, or achieve one specific goal.

Well.

Life is hard. No doubt about it. But you are not doing anyone a favor by thinking that you suck, or that you are letting yourself down or anyone around you. The obstacles and challenges you meet in life forms you, and they are there for a reason. If you think everything is against you and life is to random, well, it isn´t.

Every challenge you meet, tests your character. It tests your will. And if you break, you do not lose. You experience. You learn. You form. You become stronger, wiser and tougher. You win in a whole different realm; your own personal development. Hard-learned experience is hard to come by, and when the shit hits the fan, you should be grateful. Because it makes you a more badass person. And because you are the most awesome person in your life, and everything life throws at you, you can beat. Even if it does not seem like that at the moment.

If you fail, you learn, and you beat that shit the next time. You will, I absolutely guarantee it.

Meeting, adapting and overcoming challenges is what life is all about. You will win at it. Because that´s what you are; a stubborn, strong-willed, mad-as-a-f***** winner. You beat the 10 million other sperm cells so that you could be awesome and win at life. Don´t give up when life starts to test you. Pick up your shit and start fighting. Beat that f***er.

If what I have said makes a difference to just one person, then this day just got a whole lot more awesome.

Have a great day, and a kick-ass life.

Umm....Thanks? I really don't know what to say here? I don't feel much better, then again I rarely do when someone I never met tells me to "Beat that Fucker" (We don't censor here so there is no reason that you need to hide swears).

All I can say is: I'm a tad Confused.

Confused is good. Get´s the brain working. If nothing got to you, then I´m sorry, but still; have a kick-ass life.

Funnily enough, this relates to something I went through recently. Everything was fine, but then everything around me started to change, and it felt like life was raining shit on me.

"Oh no! I suck! I'm worthless!", is what I thought. Just because a couple of dicks had it out for me, and made it feel like my world was caving in around me.

But one day, I just said, "Hey, fuck you! I'll do what the fuck I want, when I want, and I don't give a flying shit about you guys". And, ta-da! I was back to normal, an insane asshole with a motor-mouth. And I love it.

So yes, I eventually broke under pressure, but I've came back doubly strong, and learned from the experience.

[sub]However, this just landed me in deeper shit with one of the people. He's almost a black-belt in karate and is likely to kick my ass. But still, I just laugh in his face and tell him to go fuck himself whenever possible.[/sub]

EDIT: Have a kick-ass day yourself!

Does this mean I'll get stabbed, run over a car, get metal bones that make me look like wolverine, ride a jet pack with twin miniguns, and get the girl?

Or not that kind of kick ass day?

I'm joking, have a nice day-erm Kick Ass day.

You just made my personal life phrase "Shit Happens. Deal with it" sound even longer and a bit boring. Thanks for ruining it.

OP, you could just have quoted old man Nietzsche "That which fails to kill you can serve only to make you stronger"

shorter, and a little bit more punch.

Thanks, but to be honest this hasn't really changed my opinion on life at all. But thanks anyways.

This is the first time anyone's given encouragement over the internet, so we're all a little shaken. As a prolific lurker myself, I can relate to this guy.
