Hah, I used to be like that in school, but that didn't go well at all. After all those years of having to keep quiet I've kinda lost that ability to be so straightforward. I wish it was normal for people to say what they think even if it isn't nice.

From my experience, things work out eventually. It's the waiting and the uncertainty that feel terrible, but you just have to hang in there and make the best of the opportunities you get. When I left school behind, I didn't know what to do with myself and, honestly, I still don't; but when I look back at the years since then, I can see I've grown and changed my life in little ways that I didn't recognize at the time.

So, I'm fairly sure it will be okay. I believe in you.

Congratulations! I'm glad it worked out for you. :D How hard was it for you to get the diagnosis, if you don't mind sharing? I'm still waiting for the opportunity myself, but now I've grown so old that I feel like it's borderline impossible to get anyone to believe me, haha. (sigh)
