The problem with academia is the idea of perfection. The idea that our grades and intelligence define our worth. That if we aren’t perfect we don’t know who we are. I see this culture at my school all the time. The competition for the best grades, for the most work. Kids burn out all the time because we are so invested in what school thinks we need to know rather than what we want to learn. Take a break from your school work and care about something you want to care about, not what they tell you to care about. School doesnt create individuals, so we have to become individuals all by ourselves
