I'm in this club but very much trying to leave, because I'm starting to realize "wasted potential" in itself is a toxic idea that's been ingrained by years of teachers telling me this (with my parents doing their best to counter). That's not to say I'm not still trying to do my best, I am, but only because I want to and because it makes me happy.

I’m pretty sure with the correct treatment when I was younger I would be ruling a small country by now. That said, I am pleased with killing it at work and being able to finally afford a house and not living in a hoarder mess.
