I'm not gonna give that corny speech "It's worth it" or "It get's better" because in a moment like this it really feels like it won't get better, I know from experience. All I can tell you is you've been given a challenge, it's up to you to step up to the plate and owe up to solve these issues.

An issue is there to be solved, if it wasn't for scientists that painstakingly created live-saving medicines you would've been dead already due to some easily preventable disease. These people rose up to the challenge. Checking out is nothing, it's the empty void with nobody to remember you. The real challenge is looking your problems straight in the face and doing everything humanly possible to solve the problem, that is your purpose in life.

Having no connections gives you a clean slate, use it to be reborn. A lot can happen in a very small time span.
