Gripping my bathroom sink repeating I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone

my experience of academia is just switching between being convinced I'm the smartest person to ever grace the hallways with their presence and feeling like I'm so incompetent I should probably drop out in perpetuity

I wish to be a different person by the end of this year. Happier. Less anxious. More confident in myself. Less doubtful of my abilities. Someone who doesn't run away from discomfort. Someone who gets out more. Someone who smiles a lot. Someone who listens well. Both to herself and others. Someone open but with firm boundaries. Someone who doesn't waste time on things she doesn't enjoy. Someone with intention. Someone who finds joy in the action rather than always fastforwarding to the result. Someone who doesn't overthink herself into inaction. Someone who has mastered the art of living.

Ok new game. What's the thing you're a fan of that you're the most pretentious about. NOT the most pretentious thing you're a fan of, I mean the thing that makes *you* act like one of those "oh yeah? Name five of their albums" people. There is a difference
