Chin up, bud. Not everyone gets what they really want in life. You are definitely not alone in this, just part of the statistics even, if you will. Next thing next is whether you can brace up and work toward other "lesser" goals; there are many more things in this world you can do and achieve. But of course, as lots of people have been telling you for the longest time ever, it just goes down to whether you want to or not...
So life is unfair?
Well, you still got both your legs and your hands.
You can still talk
You can still breath on your own.
And you still have some family or friends of sorts.
Put things into perspective.
I see people suffering worse every single day that i work.
and people cope and try to be resilient.
And try to get help.
Life is unfair.
True.
Get on with it, and get some help.
Complaining about YG does nothing but harm to your reputation, and you sir, is one of the best poster that we have.

Perhaps relating my life to yours would help, since people generally feel better when they see other people also get the big F YOU from life.
So about 3.5 years ago while I was in my last year of college my mom developed cerebellum shrinkage in her brain, which led to a Stephen Hawking-esque disease that slowly robs her of all her motor facilities, with the kicker being that this type also robs her of much of her cognitive abilities.
So she was slowly becoming paralyzed and can no longer think rationally or clearly, but can still feel grief and happiness and communicate on a child/pre-teen level.
I had plans to travel and work abroad for a few years, and had several things set up from previous internships and schools. Of course I couldn't in good conscience go, so more or less the work I did in the past two years along with the plans and the life I set myself up for for the next few years was washed down the drain solely due to some random genetic defect that affects one in a million people.
Her medical bills are enormous and I more or less spend all my available money helping out in whatever way I can. So due to some random life event, my hopes and dreams could easily be shattered, and I could easily never achieve what I want to achieve without just saying eff everything and only think about myself and take the path I wanted to take.
In 5 years, I can still be stuck with no financial security and just paying bill after bill, and having nothing to show for my life. People will understand when I tell them this sob story, but they'll move on in a minute and classify me as that guy who's never done anything interesting or amount to much in his life. I've been robbed of some things, but I'm trying my best to look at things positively. I can reshape my ambitions and figure out something I can do that'll satisfy myself without shirking my responsibilities. It really, really, really (times infinity) sucks to be in this situation, but I think if I'm trying to make the most out of it in mine, it would be nice to see you try also.
The cause of your suffering is not YG or Rayann or Diana or your cousins. The cause of your suffering is YOU.
It's a fictional character for God's sake. Your cousins who prefer YG over you eons ago most probably don't even care about YG anymore. It's you who refuse to let go.
It's petty because YG is not real and ROCH is fiction. Heck, even the portrayal of YG in every adaptation is different.

What I can't understand or accept is how there can be something that his horribly, terribly wrong...and just continue LETTING IT forever be wrong. Why can't there be correction? Why can't there be redress? Why can't the scales be balanced and set right?
Why must I just leave it forever wrong?
Haha. Yeah. I've not gotten what I want either. But, I'm working towards it. It looks bleak though sometimes, but, got to keep the hope burning.
My world has turn upside down since early last year and I'm now slowly picking the pieces up again and adjusting to the changes. Still a lot of work to do.
Also, I agree with you on working towards "lesser" goals. Sometimes, people keep getting stuck because they are too attached to that one outcome they want that they can't see other possibilities.
The worst is those who are stuck and can only see one route and refuse to even try another route, but, instead keep on saying "I'm stuck, I'll never get what I want, there no way out, I'm doomed".

Because it's already in the past. It does not exist anymore except in your memory. Not everything in the past can be fix or redress. This is reality. That's why people read fiction for escapades. But, they are not attached to the fiction.
And I thought you said you are going to meet you cousins and talk about it? What happen to that?

Tape, I've misjudged your intentions in the past, but I know this: it could not have been pleasant for you to discuss your mother's health problems and the fallout that they had on your personal life. Nevertheless, you chose to share this for the purpose of comforting and advising me.
I won't forget that.
It's hard for me to take, because simply letting it go seems to send the message, "Hey, it's OK to abuse and hurt me. There are no negative consequences for doing that. Walk all over me any time you want, because I'm too unimportant for it to matter."
That's what I can't live down.
For various reasons, it has fallen through.And I thought you said you are going to meet you cousins and talk about it? What happen to that?
Thx.
It's just I'm not going to be pouring my life story to everyone I meet. All the people I meet on a superficial will classify me as such, and shallow as it is, it's not a good feeling to know that the quick judgment passed on you will be being someone that has no ambitions and goals, and has not accomplished anything in his life.
It's not something I ever, ever wanted to be. I had goals to be a successful young person just like most people, and it's kind of disheartening to know I'll probably not have that chance. Selfish as it is, I often wish I could have had years of freedom and fun before settling down, and years of unbridled and wild experiences and it's led me to be more bitter than I've ever been. I've only recently come to terms emotionally that I'll just have change my whole outlook in life to ever be happy. I'll have to really be okay with what I have, instead of just settling for it and being bitter on the inside.
