every time I learn this particular cardinal’s name I manage to forget it again, and then eventually I am reintroduced, like a newborn baby, to the wonder of it all

There is legitimately nothing I hate more than wrapping presents. I am so phenomenally bad at it I end up panicking and sweating. Is this some built-in people pleasing boiling point, or a lack of my brain fundamentally being unable to interpret 3d space? Is anyone else cursed with this affliction? 🫠
