It’s good to have a positive outlook, but it’s also important to be realistic, and know when to move your energies elsewhere, I think.

I could set my mind to becoming a good orchestral composer, but all I’d be doing is wasting years of my life and a lot of money and effort, because I know I’m not at all creative in that way. My creative strengths lie elsewhere.

I could stick with it, and become at best a very derivative boring composer, but I wouldn’t reach my dream or being a good one.

And I’d miss out on other dreams I could have been following that were more realistic and would bring me more happiness in the end, you know?

But yeah, you also have to weigh that against pushing yourself past your limits, because maybe you’ll be great at something you wouldn’t have expected!

I think in the end as with most things in life, it’s about finding a balance between idealism and realism that works best for you :-)

I don’t know why people are downvoting you on your anti magic bean stance, historically they’ve not been a good gamble with ones money :P

But this time will be different, I get a good feeling from this guy! Not only is he not out to scam me by giving me dud magic beans, but he’s given me a bunch of extra packets that I can sell to my friends too, and all he asks is a tiny portion of the profits.

So now I’m gonna have a magic bean stalk and some semi passive income, all from hosting just one Bean party a month at my place!

Haha yes! I think we all reach a point in our lives when we truly become adults, and it’s when we realise that adults who didn’t understand our lingo and were embarrassing actually:

1. Understood more of it than they let on,
2. Used it incorrectly around younger people for a laugh, or to help bolster the kid’s confidence (the kid gets a little “omg that adult doesn’t know what blorpitybloo means! I’m so much more cultured than they are” boost).
3. Realised that every generation has their language “thing”, and we don’t necessarily have to keep up with the latest word on the street to be fulfilled, or to connect meaningfully with the younger generations.

What’s the high point of happiness for a pile of 21 cabbages look like?

Okay but when do we go planking, fam? It’s well phat, raaaazzzzzz!

Classrooms? I thought this was up in an office, damn they’re really trying to brainwash kids to hate themselves early wherever that is eh :-(

Our schools aren’t perfect, but I never saw anything remotely like that here, any messaging was always very positive and supportive and stuff.

It’s clearly bright yellow.

Besides, you shouldn’t have to be threatened with a speed camera to just stay under the bloody speed limit. It’s literally a crime not to, and besides that it’s reckless and dangerous.

Idiots that speed in cars deserve a special kind of hell where they’re tortured by all the children their kind have murdered.

I occasionally put “magic beans” on there :-)

That’s pretty dang cool, and 12 is my favourite number too :-)

What’s your favourite number?

Skull and bones emoticons are associated with laughter now? Huh? O.o

It reads to me like they’re very embarrassed for their friend upon finding out they work at that company, a bit like I’d feel bad for a friend that has to work for Jeff Bezos or McDonalds or such.

Why would I remove it? It’s encrypted and only readable in the phone itself, the only reason to remove it is to upgrade or moving to a new phone where it’ll be wiped and start from scratch.

You can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it and try hard enough.

That’s so callmekevin of u

I’m feelin a lil callmekevin 2day I can’t go 2 school mum

Gasp

This would be big news if he were King! Imagine the court intrigue and machinations that would follow!

All things serve the beam.

Is that a person, or?

I’ve noticed young people improperly using the word demure lately.

Has education really gotten so bad that learning a single, common 15-year-old-reading-level word means they have to keep using it over and over again?

They’re referring to when someone experiencing domestic abuse calls 999 and pretends to order a pizza, when really that’s a signal to the police that they need help.

That’s not a bad thing, we all come to new things not understanding them at first, especially topics that we don’t get a good grasp on until we’re into adulthood and no longer have a structured education system to guide us. Subjects like politics, economics, sociology etc.

We all come to these daunting subjects with various levels of knowledge and ability, all we can do is try to dip our toes in to a subject that feels important to understand, get reading, watching videos, whatever works best for you, and go from there :-)

Cereal on a gherkin, hmm
