Kid,
you need to give yourself more credit.
Take a second to look back on your life.
Think of everything you have been through that almost broke you.
Whether that be the death of a loved one, an abusive family member, getting bullied by peers at school, having low self-confidence, falling out of love, struggling with money, parents divorcing, never feeling good enough, getting lied to, and people leaving you like you mean nothing.
We all have different stories
and we all have different struggles.
But we are still here
and there has to be a reson for that.
There has to be a reason that you didn't kill yourself six weeks ago when you felt absolutely hopeless.
Every
single
thing
happens for a reason.
And you need to stop beating yourself up over a fucking GPA.
Stop focusing on everything you have not accomplished
and begin focusing on everything you have.
You've stayed in school despite how badly you've wanted to drop out, you've passed all of your classes, you woke up when that was the last thing you wanted to do
but most of all
you kept fighting when your mind told you to give up.
You're still here
and you deserve more credit for that.
-C.D.
