I had a friend help me like this when I used to panic about never being able to pass my medical exams, if I should just give up and do what everyone else but her and my two other friends sometimes seemed to want from me and my life.
It was... it's nice, being able to put the help she gave me back out into the universe again. Reminds me what I decided my life is supposed to be. Not anybody else.
