Corgnelius had a dilemma. Under the question, “What is your greatest weakness?” He didn’t know how to write, “Can’t hold pen.”
I don’t like smart people. Not in a mean way, but I hate how intelligence corrupts, it makes people look down on those who can’t think the same way. That’s not the point. You’re intelligent? Good, doesn’t give you any more rights or privileges over the next person.
Because of this, I drove myself to seem as dumb as possible at a school full of smart kids. I thought, if I’ve the dumbest one around, I can take the heat, but I sure as hell don’t want anyone looking down on someone else. But I’ve stared into the abyss a bit too long…I feel useless :/
You never seemed to be the kind to wake up before it was absolutely necessary.
I think its nice…
Dare to be strong and courageous. That is the road. Venture anything. Be brave enough to dare to be loved. Be something more than man or woman.
