>>280371351>He didn't do it for himself but for a psychotic girlthere's nothing wrong with that as long as you eventually grow to do it for yourself
i went through a hard time in college and had this gf (first and only ever in my life), when we broke up she kept saying i was a mess and would surely fail college, that alone was a source of motivation through the hardest time so i survived telling myself i would prove her wrong (no bullshit about trying to get back together or anything, just my pride)
eventually i found my own motivations and graduated successfully, mind you i never ever saw her again after the breakup, nor did she ultimately care about whether i failed or not, but that motivation took me a long way until i was able to stand on my own two feet
