Don't connect your self worth to a relationship.

And remember the percentage of living matter in this universe is basically zero, but you are part of it. And not only that, but you belong to the most advanced species we know, in the most advanced time yet. So you are pretty fucking special just by existing. You deserve your own love.

I don't think this is going to do anything for people who feel their life sucks

Sometimes it helps (at least me) to remind myself of thoughts that are positive and somewhat rational.
But of course, some words cannot change all that much.

I know that's supposed to be encouraging but it's a pretty poor showing all the all you've got to be happy about.

I don't understand this attitude that I'm not allowed to be unhappy because I don't live in the middle ages or something.

Just as I am allowed to look for positive stuff, you/we all are (of course) allowed to feel unhappy, I think. I really didn't want to lecture, just wanted to provide a perspective.
