Optimist at hell or pragmatic.
What do you prefer? To be super super optimistic at the risk of being so disappointed when your expectations are not met? Or very pragmatic, so you don’t fall off the wagon when things go wrong?
In fact, many of his songs are strong.
Note: You’ll fully understand this article only after having read yesterday’s note where I talk about Dax, and his song « Dear God ».
I realize in fact that many of his songs have strong messages. And I’m really happy to have discovered it.
For example in « Book of Revelations », he talks about the things he regrets, that he would have liked to do with a gun on the temple, and in two minutes.
In « Joker » he talks about his difficulties with his(?) audience, and how he feels about their attacks/criticism.
All in all I’m very happy to have discovered this artist.
I’ve had certain experiences in the past. I’m reliving them today in a different context. And I’m sharing them with people I care about. And … … it’s different.
It really is. I never thought it would be like this, and I’m really glad it is.

That’s the blissful smile I have right now. The smile of a guy who’s as happy as he hasn’t been in a long time.
A guy who’s happy to be, to be alive, and to share happy moments with people he loves.
That’s my smile, the smile of a happy person.

If there’s one thing I thought was great, it was going beyond expectations.
Being where I’m not expected. Doing more than is considered possible.
On a personal level, I have recently entered a new phase in my life. And so far, I’ve been acting totally differently from my past habits. So, now I can only sit back and observe. We’ll see what happens.
I’m not nice, I just don’t know how to say no.
Many of my friends and people I know tell me that I am generous. But for me, I think I still can’t distinguish between the times when I am generous and the times when I just can’t say no.
I once wrote about how I was fed up with how some people used this to get what they wanted.
Since then, I’ve been trying to find a balance. To help when I can and to reject when I can’t. It’s not always easy. But at least now it’s in a corner of my head and I’m trying to hold on to it.
For souls nobly born, blah, blah, blah…
Have you ever felt prejudiced because of your young age? Mainly in a professional context.
It’s a subject you don’t often see discussed. I think it’s because in general, even when you are prejudiced because of your age, it won’t be explicit.
So when I hear people quoting phrases like, « To born souls, blah blah blah…« , I shrug my shoulders ????????♂️.

Don’t assume anymore, ask.
I think the biggest mistake one makes as a person in tech is to assume; to assume that others know or are aware of the concepts one is using. Instead, you could just ask.

Beasts Of No Nation is one of the first movies I watched on Netflix. Probably the first one I think.
It’s also probably the one that impressed me the most. The synopsis, the story, the actors. Everything is done in such a way as to clearly put forward the message they wanted to convey.
And on top of that, it’s a concentrate of emotions, suspense, and strong moments.
