a wishful thinker with the worst intentions.

Ever stop to wonder how hard smart people have it?





I don't mean average smart, like you can maintain a 7.0 GPA...



I'm talking topped-everything-your-whole-life-its-just-considered-to-be-the-norm, being-the-second-person-EVER-in-new-zealand-history-to-obtain-full-marks-in-some-ridiculous-test-I'll-never-even-know-the-name-of, brain-squishing-into-the-sides-of-your-head smart.









Scholarships and University offers coming in from all over the world; Yale, Harvard, Oxford, Walkforward* all trying to snatch you up and put their stamp of ownership on you; everyone thinks you're amaaaaaaaaaaaazing....










But so what?? ya know?










Imagine how hard it would actually be for someone like that. Imagine the expectations on you. Imagine the burden. The weight of everyone's wishes on your shoulders. Ehhhhhh....










Somehow I'm not so jealous anymore.





*There isn't actually a University called Walkforward... to my knowledge at least..
