i’ve realized that this book is a stark reminder of how academic validation really got to me last year and how it’s probably going to get way worse this year … so i must dnf 🤍

no. absolutely not. what the freak is this book.

“Success is such a beautiful thing. It’s so intimate, so heartachingly personal, I can feel it in my very blood. It’s the closest you’ll ever fly to the sun. The closest you’ll ever get to immortality.”

oh how i love the education system 💗

''I'm simply not that good. Not in academics. Not in extracurriculars. Not as a student, or as a daughter, or a human.''

''She was born the best, while I've spent my entire life trying to just be good, and I've failed at even that.''

okay why am i sobbing?? i'm not even halfway through
