What keeps you going?

The thought that if i have my medication, i can do anything i need to. My first two years of high school sucked and i couldnt figure out why i was so bad at math, foreign languages, and other subjects that require a sustained period of focus. Just at the end of last term (Junior Year) i was diagnosed with ADD, and got started on Adderall. Since then, my math grade improved by ten points, and i felt generally more motivated. Its been tough trying to catch up and get my grades back into the A-B range, but i think im doing pretty well.

So you ask what keeps me motivated? What keeps me motivated is seeing how far i did during Sophomore year as compared to just this term.

the thing is, I kind of made this thread for the both of us. She said she's scared to get back together because she feels like she will cheat. She says this because a couple months after we broke up she slept with one of her guy friends (woulda been cooler if it was a girl lol), and she said she wished it was me, and even though we were broken up she says she still feels like she cheated on me. Now for the past couple of days she's been feeling like complete shit, and she won't even stop crying about it. We both made mistakes, and I'm taking mine as a learning experience, and to grow. She's having a really hard time trying to look at it that way and she said she wants to see the positive but she can't get over the negative part to this. What can I say to help her? It tooks me a long time realize it, but I realized it on my own and through the help of you guys. But, she's having a much more difficult time with it. Its getting better for her though. I've told her some of the things you guys have said //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

There's not much you can say to help her. You can offer your condolences, be there for her if she ever wants to talk, and all that sappy crap young girls love, but in the end she'll have to get over it and grow as a person based on her own volition. A problem many young people, especially women have. It's sort of like having an intervention with a drug addict - you can want to help the person so much and to see them become a better person, but if they don't want the help your efforts will be for naught. Having been through the same situation when I was younger, I would highly recommend not even entertaining the thought of getting back together with her. You're just going to perpetuate the guilt each of you feel for what you have done to each other in the past. Things may be great early on, but it's these wild-eyed illusions of grandeur that doom the large majority of young peoples relationships, and it's what causes the hurt to be felt a little too deeply when it ends. Take a step back and look at everything objectively; you said you two want to get back together after you two have settled your differences and the timing is right. This will never happen unless you attempt to convince yourself that it has, which will eventually result in heartache when you realize you've been fooling yourself the entire time.

I've done a lot of things in my life. Been a lot of places, met a lot of people.
