    huh, that is- strange, it sounds almost as if knowing “from the start” about being twice exceptional fucked you up more than being oblivious. very few know about my IQ, and i only got tested at 18, same with adhd where i had my first suspicions at university and started trying to get diagnosed after it. what you’re describing sounds like a deeply confusing child/teenagehood. it sounds like you were kind of taught to feel helpless and doubt yourself

    and oh man, i hope that the spark to do silly projects captures you again soon :( they’re so fun, best of luck <3

        no don’t apologise, i know that even just writing things like that out makes the world and your mind make a bit more sense for a while. and if you don’t mind some virtual touch i’m sending you a virtual hug. i don’t know what to say what you probably haven’t thought to yourself already, but since i know the critic in your mind probably doesn’t let you hear this often then - you’re doing great, considering everything you’re doing great, keep going
