Indira, Most of these posts are really helpful, aren’t day!! :) Well regarding what you sad, you need to choose your way of living, and hopefully it's a happy one. Sometimes deciding to do something you really love is the best medicine. You forgot some of your problems, end enjoy what you like best. But please don't be such a people listener. I don’t know your story but consider your self worth it and don't listen to what others say about you even if it's one of your best friends. Maybe this person isn't worth it being friends with! Lead your life and don't worry you'll get through it :)
