<p>@17Angel Thank you so much for your awesome response! I am definitely feeling a lot better since the beginning of the thread.</p>
<p>Your response is so thoughtful I’m so excited for where this journey will reach me, but you’re right; it’s about the journey, not the destination. I’m hoping to have a great journey, working as hard as I can while also enjoying life. That must be pretty nice not having to worry about the whole valedictorian situation, and being able to all be friends and discuss classes. And right, there’s always that one person. For me, the one person is this guy. Idk what the deal is with him; no one in our school likes him at all because like yours, he makes stuff up a lot, and he treats other inconsiderately, especially the females. He also isn’t very humble; he has no trouble putting others down if they’re not as good as him in a certain category of expertise. I’ve experienced him first hand and I can definitely say he wasn’t the best person to be around and he caused A LOT of drama, i’m surprised he even had time for anything else. </p>
<p>I’m pretty glad I ended it as well. It was a brave thing to do, and you’re right, it was difficult, but you’re also right in saying I don’t have to think about him or his antics any longer. I don’t even know if it was a friendship hahaha it was so twisted and messed up, I can’t even </p>
<p>It’s hard to say what his motive was exactly. I just thought it was odd because he would coincidentally ask for homework after he would say some nonsense “romantic” thing, which I always thought was so out-of-place. It was almost like an obvious way to do it or he’s just not good at being subtle about things. And ahh you’re right, I didn’t give the whole information but I’m sure if I did, you would agree it was a little sabotage-like. I’m not in his head, though, and I don’t think any of us would want to be… :-/ </p>
<p>I feel like I saved myself for sure! I can now focus on bigger and better things like the nice people in my life I am blessed with </p>
<p>I love your last sentence. “working hard and doing what you think is greatness instead of everything that is needed…” That is so perfect. I am so happy to have yours and many other’s supports. Thank you for being so thoughtful in your response. </p>
