watching sports anime like

bruh it's high school soccer

just join a different club

"If someone has talent but doesn't cultivate it, then they're something worse than even a loser. They're trash." let him quit soccer

maybe he'll like badminton

you can change tracks when you are 15

This is honestly how my orchestra teacher talked to me when I quit

go be an American football kicker

also remembering Kageki Shoujo

with the whole multi-episode arc about how if your life is so stressful that it's given you an eating disorder and you are literally dying and you hate your life and your family is telling you you can come home with no judgment

fuck you you have to keep going forever

give up. giving up rules

if it's shit, hit da bricks

this is what my IRL high school was like and i had a psychotic break

my life changed when I realized that it's okay to bail

if it sucks

hit da bricks

There are very few serotonin hits like bailing on something and being IMMEDIATELY validated in how hard you bailed

nods, adulthood taught me to hit da bricks and now i'm not on the verge of a nervous breakdown at all times
