Dear Self:

As a teacher you will have to give up on all pride. You will have to make a jackass out of yourself. And you will have to make yourself unhappy.

"I bet that fills your cocktail of optimism right up!" It will be worth it.

Right now you are feeling ridiculously pessimistic and emo. That is because right now you are realizing that you will be alone for the rest of your life. Even if you find someone to be happy with, you are still alone. Everything you do, you do alone. And you have to take responsibility for your actions. "Les Mans Salles" and all that rot.

Right now, you are realizing that you are one person. "Einmal ist keinmal" and no number of well thought out lesson plans are going to change that. Here's the bright side: The particular half-baked lesson plan(s) you are currently debating will also only happen once.

Right now, you don't know if you need more friends, or fewer of them because you are a moth irresistibly drawn to flame.
.
.
Or you reside in hermatic seclusion.
.
The important thing to remember here is that extremes are not your friend.
Stop procrastinating and get off your ass.
