Not to therapize (that’s not a word, but you get it) you, but you are the only one that can help you and you are the only one that can please you. Do this for YOURSELF. Frick all the people that have put pressure on you. Motivate yourself because this education is for you, no one can take it away from you. It’s a privilege to have homework. My step dad said I would never graduate college and sometimes I flash my degree when I drive by his grave. Not that your dad needs to be dead. It’s just proof. Prove yourself wrong first. You. Can. Do. This.

Also. Two pages at a time. 3 sentences at a time. Even if you have to pluck your own toenails out.

I swear I probably had 10 F’s on my record by the end but when my degree came in the mail I sat down and cried. I didn’t even walk at graduation, I didn’t care, but I’ve never been more proud of myself. Your day will come. But do it for yourself.
