sweet and juicy
a mix of yellow, red and green
delightfully refreshing

bed of flour
carrying pearls of taste
soft delight

Picture, picture on the wall.
Tell me your secrets,
I want to know them all.I can tell you tales from far away,
From mysteries all around you.I'll show you places beyond your imagination,
Hidden jewels right in front of you.I take you to landscapes of dreams,
I teach you how to build them yourself.You'll need to be open minded,
Making new experiences.Forge trough life with keen observation,
Take what is useful and discard the rest.Try new things, learn from mistakes,
Pay attention and act decisively.Then someday when you look back
You'll hopefully be able to say:This was a life lived to it’s fullest!

Child: Why? - question
Parent : Because ... - answer
Child: Why answer? - more questions
Parent: Because ... - more answers
Child: Why? - even more questions
Parent: I don't know, stop asking questions.What ideally would happen:
Child: Why? - question
Parent : Because ... - answer
Child: Why answer? - more questions
Parent: I'm not sure. Let's find out together! -

Review week 32/2025
Plus
- made huge progress with my summer school assignment
- finished this project that was lying around for months
- got really motivated by a book I finished reading
Minus
- didn’t get to finish my summer school assignment this week like I intended to
- found out that the finished product won’t work for the intended purpose
- read some negative reviews about this book and began to feel insecure again
- got really upset about the construction site near my office mostly because the noise makes it really hard to concentrate
Next
- finish the last summer school assignment task before the next weekend
- try one of the alternative ways to use the finished project or at least be pleased with the result and learn from it :)
- gather some more information regarding the content of the book and then decide how to move on
- channeling the frustration and build up anger into creative outputs like new blog posts
