Even though it was a bit insensitive, he was 1: joking, surely, for the most part anyways. and 2: he's right, sucking it up and toughing through is the best thing to do. No point getting down about it, although it ****ed with your future, its in the past and you do need to suck it up and move on, make the best of any situation, good, bad, or unclear. Positivity is key to a happy and successful life. Even if people mock you, and tell you to toughen up, like ANUBIS and myself for instance, you need to power through and get on with your life. Don't let sensitivities and emotion control you. Control your emotions and sensitivities. You create your own destiny with sheer willpower.
I don't mean to be crude, it's just the way it is. I wish the best for you and your future. Much love <3
P.S.
Yesterday you said tomorrow. So just do it.
