How is she a failure, though?

@SazerLite
I’ve heard from smarter people than me that starting with the Python language is a good way to go.

Awwwww, so positively sweet <3

That hurts

Damn, i can relate

I felt this one

@SazerLite
Hey, if you ever wanna talk about being a programmer with someone, I can definitely point you in the right direction to learn, or maybe even provide some help on my own - it’s the least I can do, because that’s what someone else did for me when I was younger :) Feel free to PM me!

kinda how I feel. I’m alive, and well enough. That’s good enough for now.

When I was a child, I wanted to be a magician, and then I wanted to be an astronomer, and then I wanted to be a programmer.
I don’t think I have the talent nor enough interest for the former two to happen, but I still wish to at least do something with the last.

It’s true though. Unless you have kids, there isn’t one fucking thing keeping you from your goals.

Even then, you have 20 years to make your plans.

Maybe we’ll turn this all around
‘Cause it’s not too late,
It’s never too late.

If my younger self saw me now, he will tell me, damn your not dead yet?

OOF.

ahaha

You can’t always become the person you wanted to be. This is not failure, it is life.

Don’t worry! As long as you’re alive, you have time to find happiness.

If my younger self saw me now, they would beg me to put a bullet in my head.

this hits way harder then it should, mostly because i CAN’T follow my dreams, if i did my body wouldn’t be able to keep up

I’m 2/3 on fulfilled childhood dreams and while I enjoyed them to some degree, they were not all they cracked up to be. Having African Grey parrot was wonderful but she then died of a mysterious neurological illness which was very sad. Making fireworks, while very interesting and artistic, is way too much of a pain in the butt logistically (packing a fireworks workshop into a vehicle and driving to a state where it’s legal.) So… yeah. I’m hoping that when I finally buy my own excavator (3/3) it will pan out better, or at least let me dig a basement for my new house, haha.

OMG there nothing truer that you could ever say!

“But…we’re already dead. This is my purgatory.”
Shouldn’t you be happy that your adventure had unexpected surprises, instead?

@Background Pony #7D41
That’s why they are the most precious~
And they give us hope!

The kid doesn’t know what she’s talking about.

This is beautiful, and honestly, it’s making me stop in my tracks and think about my life. What I wanted to be 15 years ago, and what I am now, and what I want to be now. What I wanted then is surprisingly close to what I want now, but what I want now is far more than what I have achieved now, which is… surprisingly little. But this image motivates me, reminds me that I still have plenty of time to try again and try and get where I want to be.

Thank you, Anon.

This hits hard
