Yeah, I know exactly how you feel :). I can vividly remember walking through Romeo and Juliet in high school and caring only that I did well enough to get a good grade but not well enough that I’d be mocked by my classmates. And then I remember reading Hamlet over and over again in college because I “got” it on a whole fundamentally different level.
And I’ve never looked back :).
