i have spent more money than i want to think about on things i didn't even want to in order to try and help this person better himself.
i try everyday to think of how i can help him, and i try to do it, because i know that deep down, he's as good person that just wants to succeed.
apparently it's deeper down than i thought...he only puts forth the minimal amount of effort needed for me to think "oh, hey, he's trying" and i won't nag at him because he is trying, right? but then he goes slaps me in the face by not even trying past an initial enthusiasm...
i feel stupid for not realizing it sooner. i think i'm done helping this person until i see some kind of effort on his part, which could be a while...
end rant...
