“… the many praises I received for my reading abilities led me to believe that I was extremely gifted and undeniably special. And like anyone who possesses a special talent, I based my entire sense of self off of it.”
Something similar happened to me! I was the “gifted kid” back in my hometown; my reality check only came after I moved away for college, where my peers were not only smarter than me - they were also hot. Very unfair. Thank you for making these memories resurface 💛
Again always an easy read when you’re writing!
