They didn’t have kindergarten for every kid when I was growing up in the 50s.
I am entirely self taught, as far as it goes... according to regular standards, I am a failure, as I am very poor. But I don’t feel poor as I have many varied interests which I avidly follow and have taught myself many things from herbalism to various musical instruments to writing many poems and have more plans and ideas than I can do in my remaining years. I’ve only had a tv 2 years in my adult life and never watch movies. Too boring, and life’s too short.
I do spend too much time reading news on the internet, though, I need to fix that!
Try switching off to video games ... just go light on the energy drinks !
