"What do you do when you have no one in the world to talk to? When even your family is unavailable for real talks: mom hysterical, dad angry, brother unwilling to listen, dog... Hmm, well, I guess the dog could actually listen, YES! But what do you do?"
You know what you do? You just smile and realize that this is your life and no one should be able to take it away from you. Life isn't supposed to hurt all the time, so if it's feeling like that, then something's wrong and you can and should fix it. And if family doesn't understand, then look within yourself for the strength to deal. Friends should support you and help you in kind, patient ways, not threaten you or respond with negative energy when you talk to them. And if your family is responding in this way, then do what you would do with friends like this: give them some breathing room and find other outlets. Even if it's just your dog or the great world of Nature. And for goodness sake, put on some good music and let your iPod (or boombox) take you to that happy place where all is good and life is a beautiful melody that begs you to sing with it. Now go find that place :)
