I hope someone catches my paper airplane today 🌈 though we may be different, i love you and you ARE supported no matter what.
books are uniquely portable magic ♥
The people who can carry a tune but don’t have a remarkable voice
The people who can draw more than stick figures but can’t develop their own style
The people who have a decent imagination but no idea how to write it all out (or vice versa)
The people who can play covers of songs but can’t write their own music
The people who can dance with choreography but not freely
The people who can do sports but never make the team
The people who are good- that just don’t feel good enough

We often look back at the early adopters of now-ubiquitous technologies and think: wow, we sure were silly to be so skeptical of something we now couldn’t live without.
It’s tempting to look around at today’s emerging technologies and wonder: what soon-to-be-indispensable conveniences will we ourselves be mocked for dismissing as impractical fads?
Rather than looking to the future, however, I often find myself peering further into the past, applying the question to technologies that are so omnipresent it doesn’t usually occur to us that there must have been early adopters at all.
Like, what must it have been like to be one of the first people to wear hats? What did the early-adopter glitches for the concept of putting things on your head look like?

Neville: It's unhealthy to eat past 9pm.
Ron, eating pizza at 3am: Oh man, good thing time is an illusion.
accept that you arent special to some people and move on
