Because I've taken the big leap of bying an apartment. So I'm actually the owner of it!
I will also be paying a small rent every month wich goes to expenses of the housing association. For example: Municipal taxes, renovations of the exterior of the house and mowing of the communal lawn.

Yep. Its no fun. But so goes life many times. Us humans are prideful stubborn beings who typically only learn and grow by suffering and hardship.
Like they say what doesnt kill you... its cliche but really true. People who have had easy lives often lack character. Or thats what I like to tell myself anyways...

I haven't done enough studying this week because I've been feeling depressed. Not an option, Rachel, not an option. 
Can't believe I was such an idiot!! Well, I can. Now I have to find the time to make it up. Damn it, Rachel!
Edit: also I have perhaps one genuine, unspoilt happy memory, and when I feel really bad it tends to crop up unintentionally in my thoughts or dreams as if my mind is trying to fight back against my hopelessness. Which is great, it really is, but too much and I start to slip into an unreal delusion, which is scarily addictive. So there's that.

I agree, and yes, people with problems (or previous problems) are the often the most interesting of characters.
What's up, friend?

Well I more meant it like adversity builds character, not makes one a character... which is also true however. But you know, teaches one virtues like patience, perseverance, self contentment, and so forth. But both are true I think.
What's up is a very long story which I've gone on about at great length over the least few months here and wont hijack the thread. Long story short I'm coping with my wife who i was with for 12 years leaving me about 5 months ago. But it was dragging on until early Sept. I'm devastated still. Too much to say. Its the worst thing thats ever happened to me. So...
