i have to be perfect. no matter what i do, its not enough. i try my hardest, but i cant do it. im supposed to be successful, i have to. my family says im the only hope. im their escape from poverty. anything below perfect feels like im failing them. its been eating me alive day after day. its only getting worse. im slipping, and i cant tell anyone because im not supposed to fail. they say they dont care if i succeed or not, but i know that it matters deep down. theyre depending on me, and i cant give them what they want. im a failure.
