As a person with ADHD I feel like the fun part of learning is curiosity and the joy of discovery. School isnt very good at delivering on that experience. It kinda just tries to cram as much into you as possible, which is a bummer cause otherwise learning is like one of the most fun things in the world
Yeaah, i mean we are homo sapiens in the end
Yeah I guess its second best to being gay. Being gay is pretty great tho, so thats no discredit to learning 😌
Mmh i would place them on par, gay cuddles are great but learning is pretty dope too yk
Gay cuddles while watching a scientific documentary. Now that's the dream.
I see your gay cuddling while watching a science documentary, and raise with a: gay cuddling while they info dump about their special interest at you 😌
