YOU ARE NOT PREPARED /illidan
Anyway.
and it's looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong
You make your own limits. By that, I mean there ARE limits, but you can move them. You might only be able to lift 5 pounds at a time. You might only understand the most basic algebra when everyone else in your grade is doing calculus 3. You might be short, round, never had a date in your life, maybe shunned by mainstream bourgeois---
sorry
Either way, those limits are there but you can push them forward. However little an increment it may be. But push ever onward. Work out until you're a bleeding, crying, puddle of human slush. Even if it only takes 10 reps with a 5 pound dumbbell to do that.
Study until everything is gibberish. Even if you still can't find that goddamn x. Take time to look in the mirror and be proud of yourself, however difficult it may be.
And maybe you don't move that limit at all no matter how hard you push. Maybe the a--holes are laughing at you, and keep telling you to "just get over it" when you f---in' CAN'T. Well, don't stop pushing that limit, even if the limit pushes back and calls in little a--hole reinforcements.
When you can't keep going, remember never to surrender. Fall down if you must but never surrender. Remember that out there, somewhere, there's a comrade you haven't met yet who could depend on you. Imagine a phalanx, imagine how if one soldier in that phalanx deserted, the others were more vulnerable. Your unseen comrade is out there and you're fighting for them.
So when you feel compelled to drop your shield and run, don't. Push that limit like it's a line of enemies in another phalanx. You fight not for yourself but for the people at your side, those in the same situation as yourself, your comrades and your ideals. -
TIL I suck at metaphors
"Now of those, who dare, abiding one beside another, to advance to the close fray, and the foremost champions, fewer die, and they save the people in the rear"

^that is a phalanx by the way

Agreed.
I know from experience that hanging on is worth it. Even if it takes a long time, slowly things start to add up and you're a lot further ahead than when you started. We're not in this alone and it's important to remember that you do have comrades in this world. x3
