being told you were the best at everything when you were young makes you now feel inadequate when you don't excel at everything you do so nothing can just be a fun hobby anymore, you have to pour your heart and soul into it far past what is healthy ? that's crazy

[celesterayel]

being told you're gonna do great things at such a young age is tragic in itself. oh, im gifted, you say? the next great genius of the century? well, they have to be telling truth, let me just curse myself to hold the burden of only perfection even to the point of mortal death bc I have to be as great as they say.

and then years later, you realize that you weren't all that great and actually, now you're no longer the next great einstein or a troubled coming of christ, you're just troubled and you're just average. and it hurts bc how could the world just lie to me like that and expect me not to be forever ruined with the need to be great but with no great power to do so???

Just a tired old cliche…

I’m 23 years old and just waking up to the fact that I will never achieve what I thought I would. The person I am now is so vastly different from that smart and talented 16 year old with so much potential.

Gifted Kid burnout edition

[achillesreborn]

to the ones who were meant to beat the odds, meant to succeed where others had failed, who've felt the weight of expectation on their shoulders since they could hold their head up alone. those who know the feeling of peering eyes & judging whispers in their ears.

to those who were meant to be the best, & did not reach those hopes, you did wonderfully. your efforts are not in vain, no matter how bitter their words may be.

you tried. it wasn't easy, so you fought. search for that pride inside of yourself & once you find it, cling on hard. you've stayed, so you've won.

[gardenofgrigoryeva]

To the gifted kids.

Treated like the chosen ones.

Told of the great things they would achieve.

The diseases they would cure.

The world they would save.

The expectations heaped on small shoulders,

By elders too lazy to do it themselves.

To those talented youth.

Who grew to resent the stars,

they were expected to reach for.

Who decided not to burn their hands.

On fiery celestial bodies.

You who chose a quieter life.

In your brilliance could see.

The race was a trap.

To you I say.

You did not fail

Your gifts saved you.

You saw the world for what it was.

And saved yourself.

My life is a constant cycle between "I need to rest before I burn out" and "I'm wasting my potential, I should work harder"

Women deserve to have male friends without worrying that they’re plotting to someday have sex with them

sometimes you have to listen to the soundtrack of your favourite childhood shows to feel alright again

I think it's high time we invent a way for a person to transfer their period pains and symptoms to their current most hated misogynistic "alpha" male
