/lit/ - Literature

You are what you pretend to be. You're large and a multitude. Existence is like a dress. You show to people the lacework side you want to show. If you say you're a carrot, you're a carrot.

Enjoy your hand. Jesus. How fucking stunted emotionally are you guys that you haven't learned how to approach a woman who's presenting herself to you? I thought books taught you how the world actually is. Apparently not.

Sounds like she was trying to motivate you. If you were just some dumbass she'd have given you a bad grade and forgotten about you, but clearly she thinks that you're talented, or would be if not for that big fucking head of yours.

You aren't allowed to get emo about this, OP. The subtext of that little lecture was this: Stop wasting your fucking talent and give a shit.

I had a professor give me a much more devastating rebuke. When I was applying to grad school I asked him for a letter of recommendation. His response: "No. You're not ready yet."

At the time I got PISSED, I thought he was being a dick (and he probably was), but looking back he was right. When I took his class I was a "B" student who coasted by on natural talent for my entire life. I was smugly cynical in a way that only an immature kid can be, and worst of all I didn't give a damn. That was my wakeup call, and when I finally did get into graduate school I busted my ass and was better for the experience.

You've been given a gift. Don't waste it.

Basically you're a child with no focus.
