Another Dream Deferred (Update Journal)

General
Dear Furiends,
Hey, everyone. So, for those who read this through, thank you. For those that don't, that's fine too.
So yesterday, I got a message from a friend telling me what I was hoping wouldn't ever come: The grades for the second half of my law school year were posted. To my dismay, the marks I earned were not even close to where I was hoping. Suffering through debilitating depression, anxiety, lack of a stable social and support system, navigating the treacherous waters of life, and trying to go through law school was...more than I can handle...
...So...he liolf who had it all figured out, whom everyone claimed was so smart and mature and well prepared, yada yada yada...is now in a position where the only straight track in life has been destroyed...and now, I need to figure out what the fuck to do with my life from this point onward...*takes a deep breath and sighs* I am calling into question all of my viable options, weighing the options, and just trying to refigure out what I am going to do. For now, though, I am not going to lie...
I am at a loss.
I am lost, scared, confused, and depressed. I need some time to figure out what I am going to do. Like my dream of becoming an actor, so too must my dream of being a lawyer be deferred and shrivel up like a raisin in the sun.

I don't know about your course requirements, but you can use the time now to do some soul-searching. You could choose to persevere and continue with the path of becoming a lawyer, but there are many other paths to also choose.
All roads lead to the same destination.
