My brother, turn away from this degradation; this loneliness, this self-hatred. You are much more than this. Go where there is nature, sit in the quiet places, feel the sun on your face, the solid dirt beneath your feet. These are yours, a world made for you and all you must do is build yourself. Pick something, anything, worth making- you have to do it with your hands. A low table, a footstool, a shelf, a birdhouse- anything at all but make it and feel its weight know that this is good. It does not have to be elaborate but it is real, build with your hands and you will build upon yourself. Do not get lost in these dark corners, do not give up just because you do not see your way - you must use your hands, you must use your feet building yourself and building your way.

Stumble, fumble, fail, fall... get up again. You are a man. You will make your way.
