I used to be a really big overachiever back in middle school and first year of highschool. I didn't commit to sports or theater or anything (besides YouTube, haha) and kept my focus solely on the academics. I remember once I got upset over a math quiz even though I got a 100 just because I didn't get the extra credit question right (or I did and just got something else wrong).
Now I'm trying not to pay as much attention to my grades and stuff, and I'm actually devoting a lot of time to theater and sports (which is so, so so so so soooooo fun), though sometimes I am afraid that my perfectionism may be showing up elsewhere. Like I still have a tough inner critic, some insecurities about not being good enough or fitting in (plus being a waste of time, space, and energy), and a really ambitious mind, but I have been getting better about living with it and managing it.
In the end you just have to decide that life is about a lot more than just a number. We all start at different places anyway so there's not real way of measuring anything. How you determine your worth is ultimately up to you.
This is so, so beautiful!
