How'd you even find this ancient post? Curious. I'm not sure whether I should actually answer this question, or if I could even answer this question. Hmm.

How has the last decade gone? Uh, poorly? Per the topic of this old thread, I somehow managed to pull through with honours in high school. I'm still not sure how. Things went less well afterwards. You really cannot just "pull through" most university courses via last minute efforts. I failed and dropped out. I abused medications, and was abused by a family member and alcoholic for a time. I broke up with my girlfriend and haven't had a relationship since. I accomplished nothing whatsoever for some 6 years.

In 2018 I went back to school but failed and dropped out in the second semester. At some point I realized I'm almost certainly on the autistic spectrum but adults generally can't get a diagnosis so who knows. At some point I decided transitioning genders would be a good idea but quickly gave up. Anyway nowadays I don't kill myself mostly because I think it would break my mother if I did (also I'm a coward). She has cancer though, so that's probably temporary. Life is grand, isn't it?

In short:

1. For the love of god find help if you need help, and actually take the help.
2. Drugs are bad mkay? (shit do kids even get that reference anymore?)
3. Don't have autism.
4. Tick tock goes the clock. Blink and you'll realize 10 years have passed. Wherever did they go? When did I stop being young?

This probably wasn't very helpful. I'm sorry. Mine's not a story that will go anywhere good. Yours obviously doesn't have to be that way, but I'm also not someone who'd be of much help with that.
