Yasss I Kept Saying This. Losing The Norte Dame Was Heartbreaking But I’d Kill The Guy Who Thought

so apparently it was pepperony week and no one told me??? i did these silly doodles right after seeing homecoming, inspired by the film’s ending + a goofy convo with a friend :’)))

To sad adults who were “gifted” kids:

Work on developing a contentment-based lifestyle, rather than an achievement-based one.  Stress isn’t a sign that you’re doing well, it’s the opposite.  (When you figure out how to do this, please share your notes with the class.) 

oh yeah don’t worry about my leg bouncing, i’m fine. that’s just a thing i do when i’m bored, or excited, or nervous, or alive

Gifted Kid™ culture is spending your whole childhood being told you’re smarter and better than other kids, but also being really bad at normal human interaction, so you just end up with a weird combo superiority-inferiority complex around literally everyone else send tweet

“If you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.”

—  Neil Gaiman (via quotebook-in)

Small talk is varying degrees of enjoyable to terribly draining depending on the person it’s with. People that like to hear their own voices but, also want to be certain they have your attention are the most tiring I find.

Sometimes picture-shy

no one catches it until you are older (or never) (i’m 18 i was diagnosed months ago)

you can hyperfocus on the schoolwork and projects you’re working on but you’re most likely losing 2-3 things a day that you absolutely need and getting in trouble for it 

not being able to prioritize which work goes first and doing a ton of research that isn’t necessary and getting off track super easily

takes you 2 hours to do an hour long assignment if you have too much time to do it

having the uncontrollable urge to fidget with anything in any way but being super annoyed by it

drawing during lectures once you take down the notes on the board because you can’t pay attention anyway so why waste your time trying? you can figure it out from the notes

not really needing medication because you’re doing fine in school

p r o c r a s t i n a t i o n

some teachers love you because you get so excited about what they’re teaching you (hyperfocus/hyperfixation) and others think you’re chill but you don’t really participate because you don’t care

literally living off of to do lists and check lists and lists lists lists WRITE IT DOWN OR IT’S GONE FOREVER

taking melatonin to sleep

“if i finish these two pages of reading, i get to watch one episode of friends” five hours of friends later with 28 pages still left to read and netflix asks if you’re still watching: “yes.”

can’t focus on math without music playing but can’t focus on english with music playing

gifted in elementary school, and it all went downhill from there, at least it feels like it did because you no longer LEARN, you just memorize
