EXTRACT: I want to play at Caitlinâ€™s party just to say â€œScrew Youâ€ to everyone who thinks that I donâ€™t have the courage to go on. But Iâ€™m struggling. I actually donâ€™t have the courage. I never have. This â€˜embarrassing incidentâ€™ just makes it worse. Iâ€™ve got to do this. This is one of those turning point thingies in your life. Iâ€™ve got two choices. I can not play, not even go to the party, slip into a social hole, study hard, get good grades and go to uni yada yada yada, or I can go.
