    turns out I didn’t hate improv or basic math, I just let something convince me that I should dislike things I’m bad at

      If you’re like me and countless others, my money is on the culprit of school being like “You don’t get it yet? YOU’RE FAILING AND THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES. Look at the smart kid who is effortlessly succeeding! Let’s dote on them!”

      Like sheesh, of course I’d never want to try anything I don’t have a natural affinity for. Thanks! Lol

      I’m glad we realized this and broke out of it though. Many are not so lucky. :(
