breeding can be very accidental too
If you’re ‘lucky’ you get talent spotted in some useful form of intervention as a youngster. Tons of types. Even with the rarest of teachers, there’s always one you remember with genuine respect and admiration, yet one of the worst addicts I knew was a lad who got cherry-picked for a scholarship at a leading public school
Absolute fish out of water, clearly hated it. He got nuked on two fronts too, did maths like Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind and played football and cricket at near county-level. Dapper. Had an Oxbridge offer, nailed his A-levels but somewhere in his school life everything started to slide. Whatever “it” was, he never spoke about worries or concerns but when you know someone for long enough you see their slide differently, especially with hindsight
He was out caning it early rave years and as soon as skag turned up was all over it, died aged 25 from an accidental o.d
Very low agency, getting on the skag. Very high agency, making your mates dependent on you as the source.
Tall poppy syndrome, unfortunately he fell in with degenerates who wanted to drag him down. Many such cases.
Irony of poppy not lost.
I'm certain this works and have seen it work and yet it's so easy to forget to do it. He points out its flaw too oc.
In what ways do you feel you've let yourself be led? by who?i've had a largely accidental life. i haven't made many decisions. I've let myself be led.
he was abandoned as a childyou've got people like goldie who always seem to be in the right place at the right time, with the right people, in the heart of the action.
