Eddie, failing a subject doesn't make me a useless person, right? Hahaha⦠Old man what advice would you give me to not go mad about this?
βNo . . . ? Why would you thinkββ
βLook, uh . . . I'm not really sure I'm the best guy you could go to for this.β Seeing where his life choices have led him . . . ? Yeah, probably not the greatest advice-giver, if even a decent one to begin with.
But they clearly could use something, so:
βYou're not useless for failing a class. I mean, maybe you had a bad teacher. Maybe the, uh . . . environment wasn't great for learning. It's not a reflection of your worth or anything. And, um, besidesββ
βAs an 'old man,' I can pretty confidently say bad grades stopped mattering ages ago. It probably feels shitty right now, but this is just one tiny moment in the rest of your life, right? Just keep doing your best. That's enough.β
