I worked late today. This morning, I had time and therefore tried to enjoy reading books, but it seemed nothing knocked my mind. So, I gave up that trial and started preparing for tomorrow's Zoom meeting which I would enjoy with my friends. There, I will give a presentation about the book "English Hierarchy" that I read recently. Referring to this provoking book, I want to tell what lessons I have gotten through learning English as a slow learner like a snail.
As you know, basically life is very enigmatic and therefore wonderful. When I restarted learning English at 40, I could never expect that I would be able to keep learning it for about 10 years until now. Also, my trial of learning and expressing like this would bring me various global friendship connections on Discord, MeWe, and other social media such as this... Why on earth could I expect that? Recalling those experiences, for me learning English certainly broadens my point of view.
This afternoon, I sent a few WhatsApp messages to my friends about my recent event. Soon, they answered with their very fertile, heartful kindness. Regarding this event, I certainly have an important, precious tip that must enable me to proceed. Oh, the personal decision I had made has been very risky, in a way very embarrassing. And, as I could have expected somewhere in my mind, it ended as a failure. However, that genuine failure also has brought me this precious learning. I need to be thankful for whatever I have got through this event.
BTW, I have to be careful about one more extra thing. Although I have been writing about autism and also other mental illnesses I have actually, I have to go back to one simple, important principle which is I am never an autism specialist. My stories must come from my life experiences, therefore not from any accurate theories which must have common, universal essences. Of course, that won't make my truths less worthwhile, but I just go back to see that limit as honestly as I can.
Looking back on my life again... I couldn't have expected the current situation but now I can enjoy my favorite things such as learning English, writing articles like this, and also reading. The time is actually changing for its brighter state I guess.
