does everyone that was obsessed with sci-fi as a kid become engineers ? such that they could maybe come close to making what they read when they were young a reality ?
it's hard when u want to be a master of all trades, but the only two options given in a mortal life is either a jack of all trades or a master of one. ugh.
core memory: my dad and i staying up all night, listening to tchaikovsky, answering previous math olympiad questions and talking about the meaning of life.
โthe last thing i listened to was a tune called โclair de luneโ by debussy. that was the closest representation of space i had ever heard, and i stood there, in the middle of the room, frozen with shock that a human could have made such a beautiful noise"

bob realizes that while he was freaking out and turning around in the milk, the milk churned and turned into butter. moral of the story: don't be like alice, be like bob. always keep on going, even if you're scared and all alone, even when all odds are against you. 5/5
fav story on not giving up: two frogs were jumping around having a blast, then they both fell in this huge bucket of milk. chaos ensues, they're both freaking out and trying to get out but to no avail. the bucket is too big and they're stuck there for good. 1/5
bob accepts death and starts to let himself lose so as to drown in the milk. he closes his eyes and prepares to make death's acquaintance. he feels something gooey yet solid touch his little frog feet. he looks down and he sees...butter! 4/5
