Well, I wanted to buy $3000 worth of Bitcoin, when I first heard about it, in 2010, but everyone around me had such a meltdown about it, that I decided to be sensible, for a change, and buy silver instead. Everyone was extremely relieved. Finally taking some good advice, instead of just being my crazy, impulsive self. For years, they were like, ...and then she wanted to spend all of her birthday money on Bitcoin! Just one crazy idea, after another! 😂 They've all shut up about that, now.

i bet you are pissed about that now tho, damn... you'd be a millionaire
Yeah, but shit happens and I still ended up relatively wealthy and well-situated, and I don't actually care about money, so oh well. But it cured me of thinking that anyone around me is more clever than I am, even if they are more intelligent and highly-qualified than I am. I am sensible enough to surround myself with very sensible people, who keep me from turning my life into a total circus and who create a social safety net for me, and now I'm wise enough to know when to ignore them. What I didn't appreciate, when I was younger, is how much sensible people like having me around. I always felt like a burden. Everyone so similar and then there's me, off being my Manic Pixie Girl self. Manic Pixie Girls are fun and stuff just seems to happen, when they're around. We can't all be sensible.
