Recently there was a man who was sent to jail for a hoax involving his boy living in a bubble. I don't know the specifics since I only ever heard snippets but being in a bubble is a term that I've heard very frequently over the last few days. I'm apparently in a bubble.
The interesting thing to decode is why it was thought that I am in a bubble. Well firstly I go to a private school where no one has ever dropped out like ever. Secondly I seem to be rather idealistic. What's wrong with being idealistic? If we look back over history if we didn't have those idealistic people then we wouldn't have made those massive leaps forward. Dreaming is powerful. Having ideas for the future is powerful. I think that those people who are against dreaming are just cynics because they don't have the power to look forward to a better future. I feel like such a hippy but anyway... This is a little rambling for today.
I just realised that today is New Years Eve... I'm up with it I know. I can't believe it. It's been a year. Time goes scarily fast sometimes. And the even worse thing is that when I look back on the optimistic new years resolutions that I made on January the 1st I see how many things I haven't accomplished (granted learning the jive was always rather unlikely). At this time of the year I must keep both of my feet on the ground and instead of recognising those many things that I haven't accomplished I should recognize the few successes that I've had. Those few things which happily have a tick next door to them with a shiny gel pen.
It's still shocking. Tomorrow will be the next decade. . .
