I started, but I hit a tiny snag and I gave up because his message of "it can't be done" kept running through my mind. I was very easily influenced by "authority figures" when I was younger.

I realize what I said had a bit of a nasty delivery, but I swear I meant well. It's just one of those "I could've/would've if only x didn't happen" that people hold onto that build resentment. Resentment can manifest itself in our physical and mental health in ways people might not even notice, and release of said resentment can be astounding. ❤️
