come doraemon!~ you have been through A LOT! working and all the work in U and everything! You have gained a lot more than you know you did! Just remember one thing: you are working for a better future, for your own better future! of course hving a gf as a support is one of the ways to boost yourself to work... but i really wonder at certain times do you really think you haven't used ur gf as a backup either ma? maybe you doesnt feel you did, but ur gf might have felt that way and you didnt no... relationships are complicated. there are always two sides in a relationship. even though you think you are going on together, if the other person arent thinking the same thing, the bond breaks and ur paces will grow apart! since she chose her road, she will keep walking. as in you, you are still stepping on the same stone u did as before. Do you really want to go on like this? remember you still have a mom and sister. They CARED about you as much as your gf! THEY ARE ALSO YOUR SUPPORT TOO!!! nv think you are alone! comparing to some people on this planet, you, me, and everyone here are probably doing better than them. at the very least, you have a family, a stable income, and alive! as long as you are alive, you can walk ur way thru lows and live proudly! cuz all the things you've earned along the way is from your own efforts. and the knowledge you've gained along the way will belong to you, and you forever! DONT GIVE UP! I am sure a number of people here have gone through similar situation in Vancouver. a lot of  people here are probably affected by the 1997 crisis lightly or hardly! as long as you keep going, no way you will gonna lie on the streets and become one of the bums on the street! ADD OIL! YOU CAN DO IT!
