When was the moment you realized you’d never try to seem smarter or more impressive than you really are? I’ll go first! I was 16, talking to the school’s certified heartbreaker, and we were chatting about books. He asked if I’d read The Prince by Machiavelli. I had never even heard of it. Then he said he didn’t know anyone who’d actually read it and that I talk about books in such an interesting way, he’d love to discuss it. Guess who spent the next week reading a 16th-century political theory classic. When I showed up ready to discuss, he looked surprised and said: “Whoa, you really read it? That was 2Pac’s favorite book. I wanted to read it too, but it’s kinda heavy… did you like it?“ Yeah. Never again.

This made me laugh 😁😁😁 I don't think I have had this experience. I mean I'm still trying to accept myself as I am but it's hard 😅

I don’t think it’d be so memorable for me if I just admitted to myself that I was doing it because I liked the guy, not because I was actually enjoying the book, haha 🤣 I only realized it while telling him I read it. It was so awkward and too obvious that we both got it, so I overthought it after 😅 But honestly, it was useful. Since then I at least try to ask myself why I’m doing something. Do I actually like it, or am I chasing some other goal
