Mathematics and I: A toxic relationship

    Mathematics has always been called the “queen of sciences,” but for me, it feels more like the “queen of headaches.” From the very first time I saw x + y = ?, I knew math and I would never be best friends.

    I remember sitting in class, watching the teacher solve quadratic equations like it was the easiest thing in the world. Meanwhile, my brain was calculating something else entirely: “When will the bell ring?”

    The real struggle came during exams. You study so hard, memorize formulas, and then boom — the question paper looks like it’s written in another language. Even simple ones like fractions can suddenly feel like rocket science.

    But here’s the funny part: the more I run from mathematics, the more it keeps chasing me. It shows up everywhere — in science, in economics, even in everyday life. Want to split a plate of food fairly with friends? That’s math. Want to calculate transport money? That’s math too.

    So I’ve realized something: maybe math isn’t really the enemy. Maybe it’s just a tough friend that forces you to think differently. Still, that doesn’t stop me from wishing math periods were replaced with extra sleep time. 😅
