You actually don’t become a former gifted child, you become a gifted adult. Feeling things with intensity set to 11, perceiving little nuances that make people unsettled, shit’s rough. And then you turn 37 and realize you don’t owe shit to anyone and you’re finally freed. You aren’t some marionette built to do tricks to show how smart you are. But people still think you’re weird as fuck because you still figured out and finessed the game and you work in a warehouse and have 4 houses or something dumb like that. But you’re finally at peace and you can do anything from hanging drywall to modyfing a BIOS and you just quit trying to showcase it
Oddly specific, but I’m with ya!
Same, but without the finesse and the home ownership and such
God damn. Are you my mother?

“There are too many secrets contained in the silver plated turd to enumerate them all. The devils and satans reveal some to us every day and night, which we shall share with you before the angel of death wraps us under his wings and takes us into the Great Beyond.”
Yeah, sometimes those early encouragements do more harm than good.
