This image always depresses me. All my life, I haven’t had the reading, thinking, and writing capabilities that I could have had. But to start over from the beginning is almost embarrassing, and the time it takes to really absorb all this stuff isn’t helping my lack of motivation. I just finished my first year as a math major, acing all my classes while understanding and remembering half of what I should. Now I slumber all day, wasting time on /lit/, overwhelmed at the thought of reading geometry, algebra, trig, and calculus books just so I can finally say I understand all the prerequisite math for my classes this semester. And at the same time, I’m also interested by reading all the philosophers and theologians with cool sounding names and systems of thought, but I haven’t even read the Bible or the Greeks. What good was my 12 years of public education? All my knowledge is superficial, an illusion of superiority over the average person, when I hardly know anything more than him. I’ve been gifted with superior reasoning, but this is mostly genetic, and not my or anyone else’s doing. But I feel wronged in other aspects of my academic skills.

I feel like my potential was wasted. I was never challenged and I didn’t have many opportunities. This affects me every day, as I wonder if I could still work super hard to become something great. But I’m pretty sure I won’t. Now I mostly fantasize about raising a kid with better opportunities, not just mentally, but physically, socially, and spiritually. This is my life goal. After my kid is grown, I expect to completely devote myself to Christianity, as I should have completed all my material goals by then and won’t have to worry about much. The only problem I have is that having money would really help raising a kid (special tutors, training, etc.) but the career track I’m currently on might not give me that kind of money. But I’m sure I could live frugally if I had to. I don’t really care about anything enough to spend money on it.
