One of the most challenging things I’ve had to learn is that healing must be intentional. There is no one golden day that comes and saves you from all your misery. Healing is a practice. You have to decide that it’s what you want to do and actively do it. You have to make a habit out of it. Once I learned that, I only looked back to see how far I came.
Shakuntala Devi, an Indian mental calculator,was asked to give the 23rd root of a 201-digit number; she answered in 50 seconds. Her answer was confirmed by calculations done at the US Bureau of Standards for which a special program had to be written to perform such a large calculation.
Also in regards to high school - the education system is fundamentally flawed for reasons everyone of you may have read or heard about at some point but my main arguments are the fact that the current schooling system is founded on the nature of competition and follows a generic template and as soon as you dont fit the mold you get spit out and suffer on all fronts - which is why i would justify me cheating my way through hs on subjects that have 0 bearing on me now just compulsory shit like english and religion whenever i could since its just all about winning as opposed to nurturing a person its fucking fair game that i just decided to play the system and now i get to do what i want to do. I never cheated for the subjects i cared about because id just be cheating myself out of valuable development but for the stuff i had to do just because its the template decided by some dead random people i never met Im Good.
In one of the versions of my idealised education system, each and everybody would have some sort of personal career advisor from early age but not quite the current career advisor role it would be more of like an extra aunt or uncle that you have growing up that specifically helps guide your needs into the best possible path for you, like they also act as intermediaries between the student and the school and help research college courses etc basically a guardian angel through high school
And obviously the current education framework of how taking subjects etc. would be revised to whatever those scandinavian or japan are doing where its more life focused.
School shouldnt feel like a phase that you have to power through but instead just simply the earlier years of your life when you finish high school youre not supposed to feel such an immense sense of relief, in an ideal scenario you would graduate and wont have to pop 20 bottles to celebrate bc its whatever and youre already set up for the next steps of your life
Its not supposed to be an accomplishment to graduate school. Everybody should deserve the right to “graduate” whatever that may mean for the individual and if it takes them longer than others then so be it, the concept of failing and having to repeat a class brings so much negativity into someones lives like for what? Like is that necessary to completey derails somebodys life or mental health by imposing all these unnecessay social constructs
Tl;dr cheating in high school for the subjects i didnt care about was probably one of the better things id done for myself
White people spent several hundred years refining an complex ideology of domination through economic hegemony, imperial oversight, extraction of resources and manipulation of media to enforce subjugating most of this world and have the nerve to tell those afflicted not to ‘make things about race’.
