This is why she is my bestfriend

Let's just say that I quit. I failed my History of Jazz project and Idon't know why. I asked for help a friend helped me and I still failed. I am the worlds worst person. I can't help anyone, I can't doanything. I hate me, I hate it all.

~Done~

I'm terribly sorry to hear that you didn't do as well as you had hoped to on the project. But I must say, that this is very unlike you to give up. In all of the years that I have known you, i have never known you to be a quitter. You are however, not horrible, but quite wonderful. Unlike so many in this so called world, you have dreams and dare to think outside of the common thoughts. Most people would look at how your life has gone, and be blown away by what you have done. Sure, you haven't gone overseas to fight in a war, or been orphaned, or had to do anything so big as to put you into a school history book; but you have lived. I don't know of many who can lose a family member as young as you were, and still keep their chin up all the while. You've lost people and relationships, been without and still continued. Don't give up on yourself. Look at this as having lost yourself for the first time, and now you're looking for who you really are. If we never failed in life, how would we know when we had succeeded? You have helped people, even if you don't realize it. And that is certainly a success. You can hate the world, but don't hate yourself. I'm sure you have realized that my signature quote is Dum Spiro Spero; but do you know what it means? "While I breathe, I hope". Life throws you sometimes. You can't deny or avoid that fact. But you can lash back at it by never giving up on yourself. What can it do to you then? Try to knock you down once more? It will only make you stronger.

"Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." ~Harriet Beecher Stowe

She's right, it could be worse. *picks self up, dusts off pants and put's up my fists, "round two"*
