Life reminded me of meaning today

Now, im in a place where mine has changed in the last few years

Ive been in limbo from 'meaning' for a while.


But im sitting here after just talking with a Reverend Father and been at a church...(I KNOW!....hu knu id see either one at close range ever again!)
....and it got me reflecting.

I think maybe my meaning is "children". As in 'helping them'.

Not in a direct capacity as a teacher or therapist or such, but as in listening, giving them a sense of worth, respect and maybe broadening their outlook....or just accepting them as they are as an equal.

Ive realised its been a reoccurring theme in my life.
Even as a kid I stuck up for the bullied, defended those that couldn't and stood between unfair conflict at school.

Ive taught, helped run a playgroup, and worked in schools in various positions - but always in a manner that allowed me to casually connect with the young.


Plus....im terribly immature.
Im a crap grownup, but ive always been boringly mindfully responsible...even as a child 🙄


I think this might be my jam🤔

You just might have stumbled upon your vocation 🤩
@RodneyTrotter1 hehe😂
Oh look....id NEVER be a teacher...well, unless it was to teach art, that'd be cool.


But i do genuinely like teenagers, although some give me the shits😅
But then....i also worry about those ones.

@OogieBoogie I'd never teach in the UK, so many tales of unruly kids terrorising teachers who are powerless to stop it.

I know what you mean about some teenagers 😆 but get them alone and they're fine, usually just acting up to their mates.
@RodneyTrotter1 exactly!

So much is just show.

And us 'adults' (i use that term loosely), do exactly the same thing.


It is hard to be a teacher these days. In fact....its brutal.
Theres NO WAY i could be 100% PC, kind, not say 'fuck' and keep a straight face for like 7 hrs straight.

@OogieBoogie Exactly. I have my childish side too, especially when it comes to laughing at immature stuff.

I'd be exactly the same, , I don't know how they put up with it.
