once upon a time i was one of those extremely bright children that most people didn't know how to deal with, most especially my peers. i showed definite leadership skills. then i got extremely sick and somehow never quite got better.
my ex, J, is actually - technically speaking - smarter than i am. he has the ability to get along with just about anyone and the charm to convince people to go along with just about anything. he has psychotic parents who stunted his basic ability to *focus* on anything and left him with a metric fuckton of emotional baggage to deal with.
and the more i talk to my friends who were also extremely intelligent and creative and filled with Ideas, the more i realize how many of them are the ones who are struggling against the biggest odds in life, just to survive.
i think that something in the Universe does it on purpose, to keep us from taking over... or at least from making a real Difference.
however, J and i defied Fate, Chance and Medical Science and brought Miss Bit into this world. she has assured me that she is going to make some changes for all of us when she takes over.
