Well, you know, life is like a body of water...it comes in waves. You're just down in the trough right now, that's all. Part of the problem is that we've all had this trip laid on us that it's "bad" to feel miserable. It's not bad. If we didn't somtimes feel miserable, we wouldn't even know what it means to feel happy. Being miserable can be quite an interesting experience, actually. Try writing a poem about just exactly how miserable you are...some great poetry has come out of this kind of thing. Put on the saddest Jackson Browne records you've got and wallow in the pathos of life. I guarantee it will pass in a while, so you might as well make the most of it before it does.

Best wishes to Patrish from your brother, Little Hawk.
