"Life is too short to be sitting down and emoing like that."

I've been crushed too, and I do understand how you feel.
Things do go wrong in your life sometimes, and it takes a lot of guts to face and conquer them.
You feel like changing certain things to fit yourself, I do too, everyone do, but the fact is that, there are limits to things that you can control. Some things are beyond our control, like space and time, and of course, love. Falling down is part of learning. We learn to pick ourselves up, we learn to not make the same mistakes, we learn how to avoid those obstacles.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

Cheer up Ben, you have friends like me around you, to catch you when you fall, to protect you. We will overcome this together, as best buddies =)
