   Perfection is a silk noose & I know way too many hanging lifeless from it. They've allowed "perfect" to strangle "good" before it even took its first breath. Their excuses pile up endlessly:
   I'm too busy
   I'm burned out
   It's not the right time
   They wear burnout & overwhelm like badges of honor, proof of a noble struggle. But peel back the layers of self-pity & you'll find one thing.

   Fear.

     @Gotterdammerung for the first 18 years of my life I was forced into a school system made to coddle brown people, so I learned that anything I can’t learn within a 45 minute class period isn’t worth learning
     
     It’s taken a LONG time to unlearn that

     @sapphire They taught you to fit neatly into time slots, to digest the palatable, discard the challenging & call it education. But coddling? No, that wasn't coddling. That was training you to mistake the bare minimum for good enough.
     Unlearning is a brutal process, & where the real education starts, after you realize those lesson plans were more about compliance than curiosity.

     Keep going.
     The syllabus only gets messier from here.
