The greatest thing about being less-than-smart is that all the smart people question your sincerity when you fire jokes on your state of decayed academic life. It’s refreshing- laughing against those looks of pity while at the same time trying to settle with yourself deep down. While others might think of it as ‘negative energy’, or ‘motivation killers’, I think of it as the chance to openly accept my inability and thus gather enough to fight back.
Enough of what?
Courage- to look at myself from the perspective of someone I should become and say “hey, you’ve got room for improvement.” This is not negative energy, this is a healthy and socially artful tact of self-recognition. Yes, that was a mouthful.

Sometimes i wish i am less than smart, so people do not expect too much from me, in every single step and makes me under pressure. (gila songkil gitu gw, padahal gw juga nggak pinter2 banget, hehe).. Ketika mereka memandang gw g bisa, gw jadi lebih terpacu untuk membuktikan gw bisa..Nah pas mereka memandang gw bisa, gw jadi cenderung buat ngebuktiin bahwa gw nggak bisa..Ok, kayaknya emang gw yang aneh..Dee jeng..(Kecewa gw cuma copy paste dari FS, hehe)
