Voyeur



Boy, bread. Simple. 


It is a fact that we learn as we grow.  Along the way we pick up tips and tricks to sharpen the learning curve, we acquire mentors who guide us, sparing us the pains of what they have gone through and learnt. But implicit in this fact is the truth that no matter how hard we try,  what we have experienced will never truly prepare us for what we are to experience.


"We learnt about nettles and thistles, and how grass which seemed such harmless stuff could give you a sudden burn like sandpaper. We were warned about knives and scissors and the dangers of the untied shoelace... we were warned about gluttony and sloth and letting down our schools, about avarice and greed and letting down our family, about envy and wrath and letting down our country. We were never warned about heartbreak."
~Julian Barnes
