[Kate*]

Dropping out, quitting, giving up, and walking away isn't who I am. It's not what I do, but I am 2 seconds away from giving up on my dream and I want you to TALK ME OUT OF IT because if you don't every single emotionally abusive person I've ever had the displeasure of encountering will be proven right in the worst way. Don't let me throw my life away because of them. Tell me I'M WORTH MORE THAN THAT, tell me I'm MORE CAPABLE than every one of them convinced me I am. TELL ME THAT I CAN DO THIS, that you BELIEVE IN ME... Not only is it not your job, but you can't do it. As much as you want to help me and as much as you want me to succeed here, you can't tell me any of that because you know I won't. They were right the whole time weren't they? It doesn't count as a self fulfilling prophecy unless you can prove that I did it on purpose and for the record, I didn't.
