While I was with my ex I was always scared to go back to college because I had flunked my first year during COVID and I was providing everything for her while we weren't living together. I was scared of what would happen to her if I had less time to spend with her or if I quit my job to focus on studying. So after she dumped me and found someone to replace me I finally applied for a community college near me. I haven't been this excited in a very long time. I'm terrified I'm gonna screw it up again but I've missed school a lot honestly. I'm excited to try and make changes for myself and not someone who never cared to change for me.

hello
don't ever let anyone get in the way of self improvement. and don't ever give someone more then they give u. ur obligation is to take care of yourself, not any grown person. good for u to focus on wht makes u happy. and good for u to recognize who never cared.
I had something similar like this.
I was in my second year at uni when we started dating. we were doing countdown to when I'll graduate and then we'll get to be together but unfortunately life happened and I had to leave school.
He was devasted cus he couldn't wait for me to finish uni from scratch so it was one of the reasons why he ended things with me.
I just started uni again last week and it's like I have a purpose again, though it's an online university but at least I'm doing something for me.
does the fear feel more like “what if i fail again,” or “what if i finally build something that’s just mine
definitely what if I fail again. I don't feel as scared to build something that's just me rn.
i’m really proud of you for choosing yourself.
I am happy you were brave enough to try something new. I think that's the best thing to do while going through this. Phase. You are not alone.
i stayed stuck in a job i hated because i was scared my ex would fall apart without me. i put my life on pause for YEARS. going back to school after we split felt terrifying and freeing at the same time
I'm really happy for you! I hope it goes well for you!
You know what you want best, if you truly belive this will help you then it will. you deserve to have someone belive in you. That person sometimes has to be yourself. I belive that you'll do what's best and succeed. You're taking the first steps to succeed
Yes!!! I love that for you, improving your life is the best decision that you have taken, focus on your studies and you should be fine.
