"Only you can save yourself. You can't change for other people. You can't worry about the expectations of others. You have to set your goals and take solace in your ability to make any progress towards your goals - even the smallest steps. You cannot expect others to understand you if they have never been in your shoes. You will not be perfect. You will fail. It is best to fail fast. The faster you fail, the quicker you learn from your mistakes and can move forward. But you will have some success too - if you just make an effort."
