I was the same as a kid. I always studied and scored excellent grades only to please my parents and others. I often wonder how my childhood would have been if I was not the topper. Would people have adored me the same? Ohh troubles of a people pleaser seeking external validation!?
Btw I'm also kinda obsessed with zodiac signs and stuff. I'm a Libra ♎
Loved this essay as always 💌
Don't let the urge to be perfect hinder your recovery. Wishing you a guilt free rest.💞

All the yes! I’m a first gen Polish woman and experience the same expectations of perfectionism and success. And I’m a Virgo rising. Your words hit so close to home and I do hope you indulge in the time away to rest and recharge. The work will always be there when we return <3
