1: Part of a series on (underlined) translation (end underlined text).
2: Translation errors can distort the intended meaning of the author or the speaker, to the point of absurdity and ludicrousness, giving a humorous and comedic effect.

it’s always amazing to watch adults discover how much changes when they don’t treat their perspective as the default human experience.

example: it’s been well-documented for a long time that urban spaces are more dangerous for kids than they are for adults. but common wisdom has generally held that that’s just the way things are because kids are inherently vulnerable. and because policymakers keep operating under the assumption that there’s nothing that can be done about kids being less safe in cities because that’s just how kids are, the danger they face in public spaces like streets and parks has been used as an excuse for marginalizing and regulating them out of those spaces.

(by the same people who then complain about kids being inside playing video games, I’d imagine.)

thing is, there’s no real evidence to suggest that kids are inescapably less safe in urban spaces. the causality goes the other way: urban spaces are safer for adults because they are designed for adults, by adults, with an adult perspective and experience in mind.

the city of Oslo, Norway recently started a campaign to take a new perspective on urban planning. quite literally a new perspective: they started looking at the city from 95 centimeters off the ground - the height of the average three-year-old. one of the first things they found was that, from that height, there were a lot of hedges blocking the view of roads from sidewalks. in other words, adults could see traffic, but kids couldn’t.

pop quiz: what does not being able to see a car coming do to the safety of pedestrians? the city of Oslo was literally designed to make it more dangerous for kids to cross the street. and no one realized it until they took the laughably small but simultaneously really significant step of…lowering their eye level by a couple of feet.

so Oslo started trimming all its decorative roadside vegetation down. and what was the first result they saw? kids in Oslo are walking to school more, because it’s safer to do it now. and that, as it turns out, reduces traffic around schools, making it even safer to walk to school.

so yeah. this is the kind of important real-life impact all that silly social justice nonsense of recognizing adultism as a massive structural problem can have. stop ignoring 1/3 of the population when you’re deciding what the world should look like and the world gets better a little bit at a time.

Progress doesn't happen over night, but sometimes if you flip your mindset enough at once it can.

An example:

What if, tomorrow morning, you woke up bright and early. You did skincare and hair care. You made yourself a smoothie, did 20 minutes of yoga, cleaned your house, went to the gym, stretched, made a delicious lunch to take to work, showered, went to work, came home and made a nutritious dinner. Then, you prepped a salad for tomorrow's lunch, slurped downs protein shake, and finished up your laundry. And you soaked your sore feet in Epsom salts and oils and rose petals and you watched your favorite show with a glass of whatever suits you.

Sometimes all it takes, truthfully, is ONE day of saying "I'm doing it" and you actually do it. You actually stick to your lists and your goals and you feel great. And then the next day you feel so great you do it again.

Then the weekend comes, and you look at your to do list going "oh God what didn't I do" and your list was clear. So you go out for coffee with your friends and sit at the park with a book in hand and get excited for tomorrow. Because now you have plans.

Make tomorrow that day.
