it is kinda wild that over 100 years ago, some dude was like "the boys need something to occupy their time; i'm going to start a club for them" and of course the girls were like "hey, us too!" and now there are 60 million+ guides and scouts in over 150 countries all bc of just. some guy. like some dude's after-school club has been going strong for literally over a century and has had an enormous social impact worldwide and we just take that for granted. there are SO MANY kids whose lives are changed every day because of him.

i used to be so good at writing strong, thoroughly-researched, thoroughly-edited essays.
as a kid in hs, my teacher literally came up to me, holding my 40 page essay on the intersection of the European witch hunts and capitalism/exploitation/gender roles (it was supposed to be 7 pages...whoops) and went like "this is literally a master's-degree level thesis. what are you doing?? you could literally use this as your final dissertation in a master's program, what the fuck."
NOW??? NOW?? you'd think I'd be oh so skilled. but alas. i can barely piece together two ideas. adhd skill-regression is so so real. im SOBBING

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.
