Not really, I just like how that sounds, but my confidence HAS taken a nasty blow lately.
I was looking over my replays and I've realized just how terrible I really am. My shortest games take twenty minutes. I trap my probes. My APM is abysmal. I don't know my counters. My blink micro is...horrific. My base design is...well, okay I guess. I copy the way pros design their bases which is easy enough to do. I still can't group properly and I can barely manage two bases at a time. Just got my ass handed to me by a number of other Protoss in a row. I'm sick of other Protoss.
Everyone called my dream just that - a dream. I don't think I'll be able to pull through, guys...Michael says he just doesn't want to see me crash and burn, but at the rate I'm going, it looks like that's what's gonna happen.
At least I still have my yogurt, but it's only a small comfort.
Currently listening to: "Fall of Fall" from Touhou 10 - Mountain of Faith (composed by ZUN)

Cheer up! No one said the path to the top was easy, and you're hopelessly naïve if you think so. Practice, practice, practice is the key, but don't burn yourself out, either. If it means anything, I'm rooting for your success! :D

Don't do everything at once...stop yourself by force and then start working on one basic thing (e.g. abusing the minimap for accurate army/base control) at a time, 30 minutes at a time. It'll be painful but less so than butting your head against the wall of "omfg I have to try to master 50 things at the same time". Same with any discipline, really. Unless you've practiced a BO 30+ times in a row and can think of it in your dream along with variations dependent on opponent actions it's not a stretch to say that you haven't grasped it at all.

Legit remixes. Except screw dubstep.

The first step to becoming a great player is realizing you're bad. I used to be in Gold League and thought I was the boss, and it was only as I realized how terrible I truly was that I was able to press beyond it.
You'll make it! Cheer up and take heart and believe in yourself, and at the same time know that finding your own faults is an indication that you're getting smarter, not that you're getting worse.
