Brianna, will you please get over it, once and for all? You always manage to feel sorry for yourself, no matter what the subject, you are forever looking for a way to UNFAVORABLY compare yourself and so you can say you never "measure up". Stop it, would you? We all have to play with what we are dealt. The truth is in the details. It's what we do with what we have that makes or breaks us, and that has nothing whatsoever to do with a competition between you and everybody else.
If you are never confronted with somebody so much more intelligent and accomplished than you are, or with a situation beyond your abilities, how do you expect to LEARN anything? Humility is one thing, being determined to feel inferior is something else. You were on the way to somewhere better, weren't you? Then get on with it!
