It's such a harrowing tale made especially sad because it's all too real.

It's been eating at me for months now, and I don't know what to do to escape this fear

you'll get over it

>>9482863
I worry that I won't even have the opportunity to have children. I want a daughter more than anything.

>I didn't care about my education in high school so I'll laugh at another's

Sorry anon. I'm sure state school is treating you well

I think he was laughing at the fact that you deliberately chose to include this detail, assuming that it would portray you as intelligent. That's what it's looking like.

>I've been struggling lately with the possibility that my legacy will be one of mediocrity

If you're not a fuck-up degenerate and you do your best to live a disciplined life of learning, charity, working, and child-rearing, then you're already doing better than 99% of people. That's right, over 95% of people die while being either broke, friendless, without family, or depressed. Often a combination of all of the above. The American dream has been dead for a while now, but I digress.

If you can't conquer the world in your life, do your best to start a dynasty that will stand the test of time, and all it takes is just taking care of yourself in a way equal to that of a loving mother and a stern father. Raise kids that won't make the mistakes that you do, while letting them have the freedom to make their own choices. That will make you, by definition, not mediocre. Because too many people strive to achieve some perverted sense of success and end up falling short on the basics.

But at that point, I hope your mediocrity complex has evaporated away, because if you project your own failures onto your kids, then they will in turn become fuckups and hate you. Remember, basic stuff, don't fuck it up.
