“heaven help us from fools and dreamers”

this quote is an excerpt of a letter written to botanist Hugh Wilson after he wrote an article of his dream to restore heavily gorse-infested farmland into native New-Zealandean forest. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VZSJKbzyMc

I have been a wierdo for the majority of my life. wether it was with the way I spoke, my hobbies, ideologies and even fashion sense I have always gravitated to things on the fringe. to things that don’t often make sense to many.

Sometimes I hate it. Sometimes the self-doubt is crushing. Other times the cheering crowd is deafening silence. Less times than i’d love to admit, things don’t go as planned. This life is one that is hard to plan.

But slowly, I am seeing my importance. It may take a while but I will see my dreams come true. No matter how many people call me a fool.
