  • Mid-twenties probably?

    You do not need gratification for every single effort you put forth or every act of kindness you provide. If you expect this then you will be very, very disappointed. It’s when you’re working hard, and being patient with people over extended periods of time that the dissatisfaction really starts to set in.

    There is a reason a lot of work cultures involve people being obnoxiously loud regarding their accomplishments, or exaggerating what they’ve achieved. That’s not enough sometimes and you end up having to move elsewhere. It’s all so very unnecessary, and it hurts when you genuinely want to be passionate about your work.



  • World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.

    The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.

    Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

    French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.

    I felt this so much. It’s not just self-awareness, but awareness of the world around you.

    I’ve been chatting with a close friend recently, and we both agree that it cause us tremendous pain to be so acutely aware. Being ignorant and looking away is not something we’re capable of.
