I practice intermittent quitting.

Oo I like the sound of that. Tell me more. What's the quitting ratio?

just prove to yourself that you're worth every ounce of faith and want for something and when you succeed not if when you do you can shove it in their face and say "i did it despite you hating on me" But know we believe in you also

and if I fail?

"no, no, I'm curious. I bet it will be spectacular." Honestly? I make sure I'm hydrated, rested, ate healthy. I retreat from the question if possible. I achieve something, to prove to myself I can and get my brain right. But always, always, always one foot in front of the other

Ooo yeah that's a thought. Try to succeed, but if you fail, fail SPECTACULARLY. But honestly, no, this is good. Thank you.

For me, realizing that it's not just a stupid mantra that failure is a learning experience and opportunity for growth. You have to fail before you succeed. There isn't any other way to do it, so if you are so afraid to fail you can't start, it means you're never going to succeed.

so what you're saying... is that I'm never gonna succeed (joking but also dying inside)
