  • The cursed child

    I've found this fascinating. It's the nature vs nurture debate. Obviously the authors fall hard into the nurture camp. If you change history then you can change people's natures. I fall in the middle.

    I found this article interesting.

    I do think there is a critical (young) age that significantly shapes you individual narrative (personality development), but I also think with loving and patient environments these stories can...evolve. Interesting book. All the reviews are more about script format or special effects of the show (which I'm dying to see), but nothing really deeper yet. Hoping for more thoughts here 😊

      I loved it! Are we ready to talk spoilers, or should we wait a bit?

      I am in between nature and nurture. I've found I can set up some scripts for my kids to follow, and they do them well. I hope that they serve them well in life and become part of their personalities, but I'm also seeing how some of the scripts that my parents taught me don't really work for me anymore. I guess I'm still figuring out how much of who I am is what I was told and how much is who I would be without being told.
