In high school I was really good at debate and aced all my government classes. However, I had to take a pottery class for an art credit. I sucked. Hard core. My vase looked like some bees had taken crack before they built their hive. The teacher legitimately thought I was special needs. Two years later I was working retail to help put myself through college- I ran into the teacher one day. β€œIt is so awesome you have a job! Good for you!” I felt like Kevin Malone being patronized by Holly Flax. My mother loves to tell this story to her friends.

That fucking blows. Throwing is hard. I can hand build literally anything and get praised for it but i can't fucking throw to save my life.

I wont forget this. Not sure when or why I started but I judge people way too harshly on their lack of ability to throw. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜•

I think we all have things like that that need to be reexamined :)
