    If only we applied ourselves.

          You must not have heard it enough because I heard it seriously all the time and I’m doing great and like sure I can’t sleep and stuff but I’m totally fine and doing great now as an adult and it’s totally unrelated that I’m not employed and super anxious about literally every moment awake because who knows what’s coming but honestly I’m super fine so not to worry.

          (That was so hard to write without punctuation, but that’s how it feels)

      I feel like if only I had worked up to my potential, my life wouldn’t be a shambling corpse-to-be.

        As it turns out, our potential is really high in a select few categories, and that makes it look to authority figures like we’re good at everything.

            I used to feel that was one thing I was good at. But then the algorithms changed as well as the internet. Now I rarely find what I’m looking for and I die a little each time.

              Yeah but that’s not a problem with you or the march of time. Search engines have been effectively ruined.

              I’d suggest Ed Zitron’s “better offline” pod or Freya Holmer’s latest YT vid on the topic if you want to hear some will developed arguments on the subject.
