Hi Medow,
Interestingly one of the only certainties in this world is that every day the sun will rise, and every day it will set and the moon will shine it's light. The other certainty is change. Change is the only constant.
With these two philosophies in mind the sun light will definitely find you. You could also take some small steps away from the corner and you'll feel the warmth of the light even sooner. When we're feeling low, we always tend to find the darkest places to reside. It can be difficult to continue our low mood, negative thoughts, and destructive behaviours when we're sunbaking on a beach on a 30deg day, with the sand at our feet and the sun on our face.
Is it worth continuing? Absolutely.
I get what you mean about your parents separation. My father cheated on my mother numerous times in my childhood, so they were constantly separating. I thought it was all my fault because I'd been a difficult child. I spent hours cleaning, cooking, being well behaved just to try and show them I was perfect. At the age of 21 my father actually blamed me for all of his actions, so it was pretty hard not to believe him. It's taken me 13 years to be convinced that it all had absolutely nothing to do with me.
I'm going to finish with your statement, "Life plays tough you have just gotta push through".
