Hey guys,
SO for those of you who needs this type of reassurance, it is okay that you get beaten sometimes, but don't beat yourself up about it. I see all these talented and intelligent kids who have potential in engineering, doctorate and "high-paying" occupations to accomplish in life. But make sure you're doing something your passionate about.
You don't need to read books everyday to perceive yourself to be an intellectual, travelling, going to concerts, binging movies/shows is equivalent, it doesn't mean you're not as intellectual as the kid who enjoys science subjects, it's all the stereotypical stigma thats been ingrained into our heads as a child. I do this to myself a lot but I try and not overwhelm myself about it.
Be ambitious. Whether it be, finishing a season in one day, reading a book in 3 hours, organizing your room, finding a cure for cancer, whatever it is, ensure you're doing it for yourself and for the better good, not for someone whose controlling the choices you're trying to make.
Overall, get your butt off atarnotes/ refreshing your gmail, do some work and get on with life!!!
