<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

I've had some major epiphanies lately. Mostly revolving around making the most out of a situation. Even with all the negativity, hate, maddness going on and you feel like you're in a dark place, you gotta keep trying! You gotta keep on living it up and find the light at the end of the tunnel.

Just think about it. If you're in pitch black darkness, what are you gonna do? You can't just sit there and wait for someone or something to help you. You can't depend on anyone to make you happy. You gotta take risks. You gotta find yourself and be happy with who you really are.

You only have yourself. That term is used in such a negative way, but it shouldn't. It's really good to know you have yourself to count on. No matter what people tell you, no matter who you think you can trust. You shouldn't depend on anyone to make you happy. You should get into the mentality of making yourself happy instead of expecting people to help you out. Things could be absolutely worse. People out there are dying and getting tortured with the hope of living. So when I hear that people are giving up with their life because they *can't deal* with it, saddens me.

All of us get up everyday and do things we're obligated to do because we're born and raised into that situation. But in reality, no one can tell you what to do but yourself. You only have yourself to make happy.

Also, I've realized that I've been going out, doing drugs and partying a lot when I shouldn't. I used it as an escape from reality. But what was I celebrating for? For fucking up my life? If anything, it fucked my life even more. People stopped caring because all I cared about was having a good time and escaping. I feel like now, doing all that should be used as a celebration once in awhile and I should find an actual hobby to escape. Which makes partying even more fun when you do it for a good reason.
<bot>: You can't really depend on anything or anyone for an escape. Alone in the pitch black darkness, you only have yourself to find.
