Post about covid babies being in school now made me realise its no fucking wonder I'm burnt out. I'm 24 and I have been in the education system since I was 2 (and a half). 22 fucking years. 7 of them in higher education. I was supposed to be out by the time I turned 23 btw. Gods willing I'll be out before I turn 25.

#This has been. An unpleasant realisation.#Also very enlightening.#No fucking wonder I'm mildly fucked up rn.#And listen I don't... Blame the school system itself. I went in and out of school in the normal amount of time.#But it did fail me in that no one noticed the adhd. How much easier would it have been if I'd had the help I needed?#And now I'm here and failed my masters thesis and struggling to pull myself together enough to try again.#And maybe. Maybe if at 17 I'd taken a break and went off to travel; like my father kept pushing; I wouldn't be this way now...#My dad was ready to sponsor a year of traveling in japan for me.#(Granted upon looking back I realise he was probably also trying to get me away from my toxic partner.)#But a year not studying? Yeah it'd probably have done wonders...#damie talks
