Huh, never conceived of it that way. I was stellar in secondary school, burnt out in university and crashed out in post-grad plans/attempts. Still trying to revisit those, but have to go at a slower pace.

I've felt like my brain just works... slowly. But I also seem to be pretty good at learning/picking up new things, because the novelty is key. That is definitely a helpful way to reframe it!
