"Nothing included
When people ask, “What are you supposed to be?”
just reply, “I was supposed to be a lot of things.”

I thought I once read that gifted kids were just ahead in ability and what happens is eventually the rest of the kids in their class close that gap and catch up just by maturing. We just mature at different rates. But we all see it like just because a kid understood things earlier like its an advantage for life
Yeah I plateaued in my early teens. I know I’m intelligent and have a curious mind that means I read a lot, self educate etc. But I’m no smarter than my peers ever were. I was just ‘advanced’ as a kid. Meant I didn’t take schooling seriously and formed arrogance about my abilities, well before realising that they’re pretty mediocre in most things. Jack of All trades, master of none. Hold myself to ridiculous standards that I’ll never meet.
