wanted to sigh and say
'hey man, i think you ought to wake up. YOU HAVE NO CLUE what shit you have got yourself into'

on second thoughts, who am i to even say the 'shit' situation im in is sooooooo much better than his that i have the rights to demoralise him? how much of a person/object worth depends on self-valuation and not determined by the rest of the world.

so here i wish you all the best.
