1 hour grad school research

2+ hours reading

1 hour research project

When I'm travelling I keep a travel diary. Since I'm in Japan for three months I got a new Midori MD notebook, so I can fit it all my adventures in one book ✨

kinda funny how you procrastinate and avoid something for so long and then when you actually sit down and squeeze even a little bit of a half-assed effort you suddenly find yourself fascinated by the thing you’ve been running away from.

i know that what has held me back the longest was my perfectionist attitude and a fear of failure, as well as an overall fear of not being good or smart enough…

so as a reminder, to myself and maybe to some of you who also struggle with it: you don’t have to be perfect or smart or even good. write, draw, sing, learn, just try. don’t let those negative emotions hold you back. search for happiness and curiosity in your crafts and interests first and foremost, the rest will follow.

Kinda fucked up that we all coo and sympathize with "former gifted kids" but never talk about the students who had to stay late after school or over the summer for remedial classes/clubs, who struggled to get above a C, who were given up on or punished. Who tried so hard to understand or just couldn't. Who were grouped with the "stupid kids" (a classmate called us that in remedial math btw)

Autistic kids and adhders who can't relate to their gifted peers and are constantly alienated by them. Kids who struggled in school due to dealing with a chronic or mental illness or physical/learning/developmental disability. Those of us who have had to drop out of highschool or college. Kids who worked so hard and wanted to be seen as smart, but never were. Who watched as their peers seem to fly by them in school, while they were left behind. Who were bullied and put down by those in the gifted and honors classes. Whose confidence was absolutely destroyed by education.

I love you all and I'm so sorry the school system failed you. I'm sorry you weren't properly accommodated and given the education you deserved. I'm sorry people put you down for something that they never had to fight for.
