A while back, I read a quote that said something to the effect of “all of us have experiences, but very few of us have stories.”
The author’s point was that we’ve all lived rich and varied lives, but very few of us have spent the time turning our essential experiences into stories we can share with others. A single, well-articulated story about ourselves can tell other people a whole lot of what they need to know about us. [www.stewfortier.com](www.stewfortier.com/p/many-ex…]
The cheat codes for life are worth reading too from the link.
The point is, when you’ve been conducting your working life at the speed of a freight train, it takes quite a long time to roll to a stop and/or point yourself in a new direction—toward a new way of being, living, and working.

We used to call these superman’s. It started with the kids then they asked me to do it with their teddy bears.

Sonder: to realize that everybody on Earth is living a life as complicated, intense, and vibrantly unique as your own. It’s that feeling you get when you realize that you’re not IN traffic—you ARE traffic.

If your role requires you to be emotionally available and empathetic, then your cup needs to be filled and not completely broken. If student academic achievement is your focus, you can’t afford to enter the classroom in a depleted state for days on end. If you still want to be in the classroom in five years time, then you will need a safe workplace. Perhaps it’s time for us to start a conversation about teaching as an industry where employee wellbeing needs to be proactively managed, rather than triaged.Source: On compassion fatigue
As a parent, you need to let go. You need to let your child blossom. You need to think of your child like they’re a plant that you want to foster and grow in its most natural form and not hinder in any way. You have to let your child go in whatever direction he or she wants. When the child reveals a proclivity towards something, encourage them to go in that direction. Because that proclivity reveals something extremely powerful from within—it reveals what I call a primal inclination. Do not get in the way of their primal inclinations in any way, shape, or form. That’s the most important thing you can do.

Sometimes, the things you need are not the things you do.
Funny that.

PSA - At least for Apple One, Family sharing is only allowed if your Apple Store is configured to same country.
Yeah, this is our issue that I just have to accept since Lyra’s account is in China and mine is in the UK. It’s not practical for us to share the same country.
Selfies
I know I’m not 100% because I slept through to my alarm, which I rarely do.
It’s something that I think I could be worse but making sure my sleep, diet and exercise are good helps.
流沙包 is one of those things we don’t translate because “steamed egg custard buns” isn’t as catchy. So delicious though.

a solid litmus test for low value work. If you could do it hungover, it’s probably low value.
Kind of moot for me since the idea of doing my job hungover is terrifying!

I realised that twice last week that I talked to people about some of the things that are constantly spinning in my head. Living in China and being a Dad. Like, I know I should do it more but…
Take care. Ducks on the road.
I don’t think I’ve ever rewatched something as fast as I’m rewatching the first season of the Letterkenny spin off Shoresy.
It’s like the Soo, so effing good.
