I've realised this you know.

Without women we burn out. Women remind us there's beauty to life.

If you look at the old kings and queens half the things that were built for the population and plebs were suggestions from women. Without women there'd just be endless wars, competition, and fist bumps lol.

You say that but I'm also envious of your 5 years earlier -- there's such beauty in figuring shit out, and it's very transformative. Learning is the cornerstone to progress.

Sometimes I wish I was just beginning again -- so much to learn and see. Such wonder.

And also, and ode to your parents -- there's a lot of intellectual prowess that escaped earlier generations. We weren't the first, only the first refined. If you get that.

We had educational establishments built to refine even the dirtiest pleb. They had a line in a factory and people that told them that's what their life was.

Whilst this world houses many people that think they are way more than they are, it also houses many that have yet to shine bright! :)
