Given time, even mythical creatures lose faith.
University, for all the intellectual stimulation it gave me, really amplified my competitiveness and feelings of self-hatred. I chased after the highest possible grades while also procrastinating heavily, turning my life into a constant last-minute scramble, a contest of how well I could think on my toes.
After all, how could I accept the validation I craved if it didn’t come with massive amounts of stress and hardship to make it well-earned?
Ah, but then… did I really deserve those high grades if I hadn’t put in a reasonable, steady amount of hard work like the other students?
It was a dumb dilemma.
I voluntarily injected myself with vitriol.
A daily dose of You’re Unremarkable.
