+# Context
+
+As a teenager I spent a lot of my energy trying to be different. I don't know what informed my rebellious streak, I just
+know that once artists got over a couple thousands active listeners on Spotify, I started to lose interest in them.
+
+I'm barely old enough to think straight, and it dawned on me in a conversation with my wife, and I told her, "you know,
+things are probably actually bigger in Texas".
+
+## Reflection
+
+I'm glad I still have a pretty strong rebel streak in me that propels me to be curious, to try the more esoteric things
+that others ignore. I'm a better developer for having learned other niche programming languages like
+
+- Zig
+- Clojure
+- Ocaml
+- Gleam
+- Nim
+
+(I know, surprisingly no rust, I feel like when it came on the scene it caught on too quickly...)
+
+But, I feel like I don't often give the public consensus opinion its fair shake.
+
+So here's to being a normie sometimes, its actually great to be like everyone else.
