Man Reading (Nicola d’Inverno) by John Singer Sargent, 1904-1908

"And if the devil were to see you, he would kiss your eyes and repent"

the raw panic of hearing about your potential, positive or negative

a weird brand of imposter syndrome where you genuinely think you’ve fluked your way through every success and you’re gonna be Exposed as a Fraud

never having learned how to study and having no idea where to start now that you need to

reading college level books as a kid but being basically illiterate now

dismissing your struggles as irrelevant because other people have it harder and i should be smart enough to handle this

feeling like you’ve lost all control over your life (maybe manifesting into depression, anxiety and disordered eating in a grasp for control over something)

Remembering what it felt like to be motivated and at the top of your game and you could do ten things at once and cared so much, but now it’s a struggle to keep up with anything

~depression~

~functional depression~ so you feel like you are faking it

Holding a mediocre job and feeling unfulfilled but feeling like you aren’t good enough to do anything else

Being book smart but struggles with social skills and communication with others.

1) The third episode heavily features Fahmi Quadir, who is my new hero b/c she’s a brilliant short-seller who essentially made money by exposing the wrongdoings of an evil drug corporation (!!) and also she is a beautiful fashionable lady and I have a big ol crush.

2) The fifth episode is an only semi-tongue-in-cheek look at Quebec’s famous maple syrup heist. If you’re not Canadian it’s a fairly good example of how Canada has its share of political problems while simultaneously being hilariously Canadian about it. Maple syrup = serious business. Also this episode has real good music
