Take charge. For real this time.
I sat there in the middle of a cold empty engineering classroom at 3 am in the morning emotionally - completely naked, and physically - completely freezing. My life flashed before my eyes. Not because I was dying(but then again we always are) or sick or hurt. But because I was wrong. I was wrong, this entire time I had been wrong about literally everything. For a person who depends on being in charge, being right and being all that - this was detrimental. I was wrong. Never before had I ever thought I'd be able to admit it to myself so boldly, never before had I realized I'd be able to look back at my life and criticize my every tiny move. The way I breathed in, the way I walk, the emotions I felt when I woke in the morning. EVERYTHING was wrong. And all it took for my entire little universe to crumble was to ask a random person: "Analyze me. You say you read people. Tell me what is wrong with me." There must've been a reason I did that. No normal human being comes up to a guy they met two days ago and asks him what's wrong with them. I must've had this itching feeling within me for ages now. This discomfort that made me feel like I needed more. Because of that discomfort I've become an overachiever. Unable to fulfill this void, this empty, but irritating feeling with an answer to such a simple question, I've been searching for something more: better grades, better clothes, better skills, better education. "What is wrong with me?" I always knew I had to ask myself this question. Our society often tells people not to question themselves, to follow the crowd and be "normal". I never wanted to be normal. There was nothing about normal that seemed appealing to me. I wanted greatness, I wanted love, I wanted the sky. But people tend to shun those who question the system, those who question themselves. For that reason my only role model for greatness have always been overachievers praised by the masses. They seemed to standout, but also be a part of the people at the same time. That felt safe. I thought that was the way to go. "What is wrong with me?" a simple question that has forever changed the way I see things. It is okay to ask yourself this question. Although one might think I contradict myself, by asking myself this I'm trying to compare myself to others to see which particular social skills I'm lacking. It is my way of asking: “How am I not the person I want to be yet and how do I get there?" Right now I'm confused and scared. Because every belief I had previously held has proven to be wrong. I'm looking for a way to get to the me I need to become. And to do that I need to question everything I think I know and take charge.

S.O.S.
In desperate need of a friend... A friend, who's gonna be weird and antisocial like me, but also as world loving and adventurous as I am. A friend, who's gonna understand all of my insecurities, but reject them all and support me through my darkest times. A friend, who's gonna be there, when I'm watching Netflix, who's gonna inspire me to create, who's gonna tell me that it gets better...

В школе все учителя говорили, что ты очень хорошо учишься. Очень интересно узнать, как ты сдала егэ (по каждому предмету отдельно)?
Я хочу кое что уточнить. Я не гений и не машина. Я не готовилась к ЕГЭ, потому что мне оно и не нужно было. Плохо я написала. Для меня это позорно. Точно не помню, но Математика - 82~88, Русский - 72, Английский - 90. Не буду оправдываться тем, что к тому времени я уже поступила в один из лучших универов в мире... упс😁 (если что, туда нужно сдавать абсолютно другие экзамены)
