[zabeztas]

ITS MY MENTAL BREAKDOWN AND I GRT TO CHOOSE MUSIC

[myonlyangel]

“driven by a greed to succeed”

and that’s on being a gifted kid burnout whose self worth is determined by their grades

[souptoes]

Remember getting “A’s” were easy to get when we were younger and then when we grew up and slowly started to lose motivation

[cg]

This hits harder when you realize that you're too focused perfecting academic goals, but you don't know what you rlly wanted for your future :(((

[faelynconnielover]

"Do I need to lie to make my way in life?" This is the most relatable line in my opinion. I've been getting stressed from school, it's like we have 7 assignments a day. I sometimes lie so my parents won't know I missed some assignments, they always scold me if I did, but in a more hurtful way. They compare me to kids in my school and they still have the urge to say "Because they're better!". It's so hard to hold back tears from that.

Update: i cried myself to sleep last night bc i know that today will be a stressful day

[eeveeinc]

1:11 I totally haven't spent the last 8 years thinking this part was "it's my problem if I want a pet goat that ran away"

[_scintillaflower_]

“And it’s my problem if i have no friends and i feel i want to die”

Is the line i relate most

[procrastinatkivaz]

*Lets go with the flow that this is our theme song to the "used to be multitalented, A+ student and now slowly and slowly breaking up, procrastinating and crumbling downhill today"*

edit: wow, 17k likes! Didnt expect that for 2 years by now. Alot of people are coming the same thing as i am? Haha, imagine now feeling pressured to get a high score for an exam, and your sports? It is so sad for me especially in highschool... i hope all of you are doing okay. 😔 pressuring myself to get high marks isn't easy. Doubting yourself getting low scores... The fact i am the eldest daughter on the family, i have to do something of course i have to do i am the eldest.. and my life has been fucked up already so i shouldn't let my opportunities go away i want to take it and achieve it.

[effervescent]

This song is for all those with strict parents who made us stand out from a young age.
to those who want to die when they get a bad grade
those who are afraid of failing
to those who practice a sport and not for their own pleasure
those who always have to win those whose parents have forced them to go after success, yes
this is my song

[fnmlionx]

This song is relatable coming from a eldest sibling who was a gifted kid, now i have burn out and I can't seem to be proud at anything I do

[anwoo]

I used to be straight A student now I'm not even straight

[michellesanni]

I'm a straight A student and I relate to this song on another level. I do other things like sports and art and it can be so exhausting sometimes

[akiiyumii]

Drawing, grades, video games, everything. I have to be great at everything. I hate the fact that I get envious and frustrated when my friends are better than me in them. I hate the fact that I'm so selfish. To the point where I starve for praise

[melizanimue]

the pandemic and online class ruined me, im so jealous of the ppl who still have their life together or those who improved themselves during quarantine bc rn im in the lowest point of my life and no one even cares

update 4 months later! i didn't look at my grades for last year bc i'm too scared lol but school just started again and i think i'm doing okay:) i've been passing my works on time and i've been getting high scores again! i hope everyone who replied to my comment saying same is doing better now. i believe in all of u<3

[rongchen]

The lines I relate to most:

"Baby, nothing comes for free."
"They say I'm a control freak."
"Driven by a greed, to succeed, nobody can stop me."
"Cause' my problem if I want to pack up and run away."
"It's my problem, it's my problem, if I feel the need to hide."
"And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel the want to die!"

[fwoop]

“High achiever, don’t you see? Baby, nothing comes for free. They say I’m a control freak driven by a greed to succeed, nobody can stop me!” Is really relatable to me because I’m so fixated on succeeding in achieving my goals that I push people away sometimes

[tracysimp]

i hate the pandemic so much i used to be a straight a student, popular and sociable and now i am nothing it hurts so much and i feel so tired even tho i get Bs when i used to get As

[lunarwastakxn_]

It began from

"Gosh my daughter is so smart !"
"We're so proud of you"
"Such a sweet little girl"

It ended with

"Seriously ? You do only THIS ?"
"We're so disappointed on you"
"We hope that you'll go back to your old ver"

Vent if you wanted to


Update -

[circo_]

This being the first song on her debut album is... such a power move, honestly. This is the track that began her career. I think about this every time I listen to it, this is her introduction song.

[manikamayumi]

used to be

“smart girl!”
“you’re so bright”
“you’re gonna achieve great things”

then, life happened

“what happened to you?!”
“you can do better than this!”
“this isnt the girl i used to know”
“you aren’t even trying anymore!”

oh im so sorry that im human and i still need breaks from life too im really sorry.
