[[MORE]]Today while driving back up to school for my last final and moving out, my dad asked me what nature is, and I immediately remembered the paper I spent all of last night writing on religion in Gattaca so I told him he should watch it since it addresses his question and he’d like its answer.

shoutout to all the other ex-gifted & talented/honor student/straight a/senior editor/star student/99th percentile/once-creative burn-outs who have, since high school, realized they are truly miniscule fish in a giant, endless ocean, criticized themselves to the point of creative paralysis, and participated in so much self-sabotage they no longer see the point of doing anything at all...
