^Dear Ken (or iirc you would prefer -Athena-), I do not know what got your mood down so whatever I say next might lack a sense of empathy; but do not let it dwell for too long. Things usually seem undesirable from one angle of perception but appear differently, even positively when viewed in an alternate light.
At the very least, we mature into better men overcoming unfavourable experiences and challenges - think of it as levelling up, if you like. Life is one huge-ass RPG anyway; with the caveat of having no respawns (if you do not believe in karma/reincarnation and what-not, but I digress), and being able to actually feel (e.g. hurt) physically and emotionally. We get to enjoy satisfaction and joy from accomplishments and relationships more deeply/personally that way too, which is my alternative (more positive) perception of this very caveat.
If you think you would feel better talking about it, know that I am all ears and just a pm away, whenever. I do not mean to be a busybody though, so please do not misunderstand my true intention.
Edit: Apa ni tiap kali ychao ni post mesti tl;dr macam karangan saja, dan karangan BI pulak tu... orz
