Do the best you can, with what you have, where you are.

I work long hours too and sometimes that makes me upset (like tonight). But when we do get time to do something we enjoy it is all the more special. I hope you get a chance to paint again soon.

I don’t get it.

I understand he lives in China, sounds like he is in the States now though.

Wonderful :) God willing, very soon Donald Trump will be elected and we all can begin the work to right our ship of state together, and the jobs outlook will begin to improve.
Hold on!

You can be whoever or whatever you want to be in this country. Especially starting in five days. Don’t get discouraged.

Working is a very good thing, especially when you do a lot of it.

I’m praying for you.

I remember a time when I felt like I didn’t matter to anyone and that my life consisted of only working to keep myself alive.

Fortunately I didn’t give up until, finally, the most painful thing of my life happened.

This terrible thing turned out to be the door to a new part of life and, by far, the happiest time of my life.

Never give up. Know that God loves you.

Things will get better.

pax et bonum

< We all go thru seasons. Some much more painful than others Even if it’s a minute at a time, fight for hope. Your season will change. ...and don’t let pride get in the way of calling someone, anyone, to talk. They will listen.

Sound advice. Have been through extreme pressure the past few years. Some of it caused by Feds who did not pay me for my work (several years worth); It about ruined my life. Then Obama destroyed the economy which further affected the demand for the type of work I do. I had to use all my life savings just staying alive, had to sell my home and make a move that was very stressful, then had a life threatening situation but I have faith that God will make a way. I don't think he wants me to be bitter though and wants me to be positive and upbeat so that's where I am headed. It does no good to take things lying down because you will get run over.

Exercise ALWAYS helps. Get those endorphins flowing and they will change how you think and feel. Just adding my .02 to the pile.

As the Zen master said to the hot dog vendor: “Make me one with everything.”

Are you having problems finding friends? Is your employment a concern? Could you help us understand your situation better to help?

I understand you are relatively new to the US.

> If you live in the past, you will be depressed. If you live in the future, you will be anxious. Try to live in the present, which is much more manageable.

Considering the source that's great advice...
