Fun fact - After reading George's Marvellous Medicine, I one day decided to make a drink for my family which included (among several other things) toothpaste.

Thankfully, noone got sick.

My generation read Roald Dahl books as kids but we didnt build our identities around them nor did the books become a constant debate point in endless discourses. Thats the thing I don’t understand about the Harry Potter phenomenon, which are children’s books at the end of the day

son spends thirty years hating everything father did wrong then looks in the mirror sees father's hands father's temper father's way of avoiding eye contact when he's lying. he thought he was different special better than the old man but he's just father with better teeth. the old man messed up the boy messes up same ways different decade. he realizes there's no escape from father's shadow because the shadow isn't coming from the old man. the shadow is coming from him being exactly like father but pretending he's not. the old man was never the enemy. he was just the boy thirty years earlier making the same mistakes

Saw a dude hugging a fire hydrant. He's probably going through some shit. My heart goes out to him.

We used to memorise poems. Now we have to memorise numbers. Numbers are ugly. And phones are evil. The sky is going to fall on us.

One of the formative stories I read in my youth (part of our english syllabus) was The Necklace by Guy de Maupassant.

Girl born into a poor family, believes it a mistake of faith, gets married to a clerk, borrows a necklace from a friend to attend a ball, loses it. Goes into

"Im too good for hard work" is the sort of thing thats almost natural for a young person to think, but eventually life tells you who you are

[Shinyzigzagoon @Shinyzigzagoon2]

Debt to buy a lookalike, spends the next decade repaying that debt. Now hardened by the realities of life, after a decade of labour, she tells her friend that she lost her necklace all those years back. The necklace was a fake
