oh my god. powerful. this is so true
Productivity shouldn’t be my only value as a person, yet my education is defined precisely only by my productivity. I exist to produce exams, papers, works, homework, everything. The student, in Polish school system (as that is the only system I am qualified to critique because it Is the one that suffocates me) wants me to become my work, and the work in question, to become my only goal. Knowledge, I don’t know knowledge, I know all-nighters, bitter coffees and crying in a bathroom after a teacher laughs at your incompetence. I know lack of self esteem when you answer poorly. I know the clash between a good teacher and a good student in a bad setting. I know fleeting academic potential, I know premature wrinkles, I know depression I know back pain I know insomnia and I know that I still have to get up in the morning because my disgusting leisure would be seen as a failure in my education. I don’t know how to take care of my mental health. I truly don’t know how to make myself feel better when every part of the system tries to make me despise myself based on short-lived mistakes.
hate cunts who are like "well maybe this piece of art doesn't mean anything" Your desire for simplicity is boring! Bitch!!!!! everything in the whole world means everything 2 me ....
well... same.
I either read for 10 hours a day or I don't read for a whole month there's no in between.
