I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.

Shout out to all the notes-app poems, love letters, secrets, novels, diary entries, bucket lists and lyrics that were hurredly typed into people’s phones at 3am and then hidden from the world and forgotten.

i just don’t think people truly understand the weight that accompanies getting all of your self worth from academic validation. neglecting sleeping and eating to revise. never being able to truly escape from school even when you go home because you’re always thinking about it, even in the back of your head. wanting to throw up at the mere idea of failure. dreading getting exam results even if you think you did well. feeling like you’re nothing if not successful. the caving feeling from having everyone’s unwavering confidence but none of your own. the pressure that piles on from everyone around you. beating yourself up if you pass instead of achieve. shaking when writing essays even if you know what you’re talking about. planning your entire life around school. burning out and then getting mad at yourself for doing so. it is exhausting.
