a bit of tomfoolery

the last one bugs me (and the one about drinking, but that’s beside the point i’ll be trying to make). the part that’s crossed out seems more appropriate than the one underneath it.

my parents never forced me into anything as a child, and i turned out to be apathetic toward pretty much anything. i grew up feeling plain and boring because i felt like i had no talent, let alone anything i was passionate about, and that sucked. so if i were to ever have a child (which i’m not sure i will), i wouldn’t want them to feel that way. i would get them to participate in sports or the arts or something, anything they seemed interested in (unless it’s destructive or harmful, of course) to try and prevent the toxic feelings of inadequacy that comes with the feeling of being talentless.
