Birthdays & Squishing of Dreams

I so very, very angry & hurt. I was just told to give up my dreams, that they just weren't working out right now. That if you find something you're good at & enjoy you should be able to breeze through it easily. School just isn't for me, etc. It was the one thing I could count on, them believing I could do it. Because damn if a lot of places didn't seem to want me. She suggested sales, that not everywhere is the same, that not everywhere there's a push to sell something. I don't know of a single place like that. I'm, very, very, very, very hurt by all this. Of course it's Cal's birthday, when I'm supposed to be happy & planning (granted last minute) his birthday outing if his parents do nothing. Instead all I can think about doing is driving, anywhere, just....away from here.
