I've had this thought in my head.
Not really negative, not really anything.
She told me me/asked me. "How could you be so dumb when you are so smart."
It's mulled in my head for quite a bit. Mainly because the idea of people thinking I am smart is alien to me, but also because every once in a while I have these weird blank moments when I have to think of something really really hard.
It's not because I'm dumb, just because I can't seem to find the right thought, I hate it when I do that.
This thought I've kicked around in my head lately is the something I really proud of.
I have a lot of random knowledge in my head.
I have the Map of essentially a whole state in my head, I can tell you how to generally get to one side of Colorado to the other, I could probably get you halfway to Boston without the use of a map.
Now I also have the partial maps of two other states growing and being learned, New Hampshire, and Boston.
I might not be as smart as Stephen with his calculus but I can pretty confidently get off a highway in Chicago go to a White Castle and maneuver back with a map and continue trip without getting flustered.
I am really proud of that.
I would love to move back to Colorado one day. Though I would not be apposed to just owning a house both in CO and NH/MA and just constantly traveling.
Like I said I am not depressed or mad or anything. I just can't believe the numbers, names and things in my head and what I have already remembered up to my 25 years of life so far. I am excited to continue making memories and learning new things.
