I held your hand through the several breakups between you and Shannon. The real problem between the two of you was that you never listened to what she was trying to tell you of the problems between you two. You dismissed it and pretended that it was not there. What happened was exactly what I told you would happen. Despite your intense focus on Shannon, you were blind to the fact that you lost that part of you that she loved the most. You spent so much time focusing on how you felt about her, you ditched your friends and your responsibility to me and lost everything in its wake. You need to realize that you are responsible for it all. You need to take personal responsibility and stop feeling sorry for yourself because you fail. You have to do the work to succeed, you were never willing to put forth the effort. You wanted instant results and lamented at the fact that your instant results never lasted. This is because the problems were never solved.
You lied to me when you promised to do well in school. You never even tried. You act as if you are above the intelligence of everyone around you, teachers and friends. It is as if you expect to be entertained rather than buckle down and do the work. As if the teachers were not worthy of your attention or your respect. You also decided at that time that there must be something wrong with you. You mentioned suicide to several people. What you have is not an ailment or an emotional problem. That is yet another excuse you use to fall short of your responsibilities. Quite frankly, thoughts of suicide eventually pass through everyones mind, but you get over it and take the steps necessary to get through it. As always, you want an easy fix without the understanding that easy fixes never heal anything, they just take away the pain for a few moments. You spend so much time trying to harvest sympathy for your difficult life, you never realize or want to take the responsibility of the realization that you cause your own problems. You life is difficult? Then stop making it that way. Very simple really.
Moving right along, when you called me when I was on vacation to tell me that you wanted to quit school for this great job opportunity. I knew it was only a matter of time before you found another means to the end of doing exactly what you wanted to do. The reason why it was so important to me that you finish school is that in the 41 years I have been walking this earth, I have learned that if you fail to live up to your promises, if you fail to finish the first accomplishment to adulthood, the chances that you will live the kind of life you really want are slim to none. I wanted you to live up to the promise you made to me. It was then I realized you probably never would but I was not willing to give up until I exhausted myself.
