If you cannot bear it any longer have hope that it will not always be like it is now, that it will improve with time, which heals all ills. If you regret something you did know that it was meant to happen, that you willed it, and THAT you willed it means that you have taken responsibility, which should make you proud. Make the past as if you willed everything you did. If you are upset about what someone else has done to you, do not seek revenge which will only spur on anger and resentment, but rather forgive even the unforgiveable (true forgiveness), in which case from now on you will always have the upper hand over that person who knows that you should have done something but didn't, something he/she will always, undoubtedly, thank and commend you for. If someone has left you it is natural that as you have built your lives around each other there is going to be pain in this initial separation, but was the pleasure worth it? Can you live by yourself? I'm not saying be a recluse but rather that one must be able to live by oneself in order to truly enjoy and make the most of any relationship, for if you cannot live alone you always fear the other leaving you and you try too hard to keep the relationship alive, in which case the other will get tired, bored, angry, and will want to leave you, or kick you out. Learn to live alone and then find someone else, for there are always people out there who are better for you, with you, even than the one you thought was perfect. If you are bored try to enjoy waiting, the most natural state for us to be in. If you have begun to hate everything, try new things that you have never tasted, done, experienced before, or think: "I won't be here forever, when I'm old I will look back at my life and regret that I wasted it suffering when there is so much pleasure to be had!" I say you can make a heaven a hell or a hell a heaven, but the point is that YOU MAKE your happiness, it is not given to you, or does not come to you, but it lies in how you see the world in the situation you are in. The keys to the door of the mystery of life are to be found below, not so hidden - you can enter power, peace, bliss, or just play - by an Antinomy: Oliver
