listen, middle school sucks. i agree. BUT! hear me out!!
teaching middle schoolers is a genuinely entertaining career.
i think they get such a bad rap because no one really has fond memories of being 13, which makes sense!! going from child to teen and not even really being a teen yet is difficult and confusing. not fun!
but they still have the most random childlike shenanigans that i love to be apart of.
they are little humans who shock me with an f bomb every now and then but also make me origami and paper crowns, and it gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.

When I was little, I was super interested in science! There was this one album for kids by the band They Might Be Giants that had songs about a bunch of different basic science concepts like photosynthesis, the periodic table, cells/DNA, etc and I listened to it on repeatttt I also remember getting so excited about learning the butterfly life cycle in kindergarten and drawing out the whole diagram on our patio with chalk so I could explain it to my parents (who humored me because they thought it was cute) As I grew up, I moved away from STEM because I was worried my brain wasn't built for it. It sounds ridiculous looking back, but I guess that's how imposter syndrome works haha. I also had a pretty bad generalized anxiety disorder that made it tough for me to make it through lab classes that involved precise steps and hazardous materials. After I graduated highschool, I started anxiety meds and sort of re-evaluated what I wanted to spend my life doing. Long story short, I'm studying biology now! I'm especially interested in informatics, data visualization, and scientific communication, which checks out with that little life cycle diagram story I guess haha

it makes things so much easier? to just be myself??? I LOVE BEING A REAL PERSON!
i am so much more okay with people not liking me for my innate being than not liking the fake persona i have created.
a fake personality is somewhat like a piece of art. it hurts when someone criticizes your child. your creation.
you can hurt me tho! it’s alright
something to unpack in the future perhaps..
perfectly imperfect :)
