study smart not hard (altough both is best actually) this saying is so true

It’s CMA-

Okay the food intolerance one may be misleading because I had basically a freak health accident happen when I was 14, which is why I developed a bunch of food intolerances and health issues all at the same time.

So I don’t think it’s super common to have a severe intolerance develop suddenly, I’m just very prone to having freak accidents.

That being said, I do know lactose intolerance can start at any age, which sucks. I’m really lucky that I’m only very mildly intolerant, and it’s only to drinking a lot of milk (not other dairy products), so I’m fine 99.9% of the time.

Re: the chocolate thing, okay completely anecdotally, I’ve noticed that it’s mostly older people who like dark chocolate more and that young kids tend to like white chocolate more, and that a lot of people outgrow their love of white chocolate and grow into liking dark chocolate.

Sort of related, but most kids hate vegetables but grow to love them as adults. So I don’t know if it’s like, your tastebuds changing as you age, or what, but there is that.

Also though, I feel obligated to mention this as someone who studies child development, according to a bunch of sources, kids aren’t actually born hating vegetables, it’s a conditioned response. Confusingly though (I should really ask a professor about this), newborns do show an ability to distinguish different tastes and show a preference for sweet things (compared to salty, bitter, and I forget the last).

I mean according to like the evolutionary brain stuff, we are meant to enjoy sweet things more than bitter (sugar = energy (super duper important thing that helps us survive, also relatively rare in the wild so it should be taken advantage of; no to very low risk of eating too much sugar in the wild, plus you’d be working out a lot more foraging or hunting or whatever).

So idk if that first sentence is actually just propaganda to get parents to be more positive about vegetables with kids, but it does work somewhat, since kids who were raised only eating “healthy” foods tend to prefer them, but honestly it’s kind of confusing lmao.

Sorry I just infodumped so much about this absolutely useless info lmfaooo sorry (but I feel like you know me well enough to know that this is a thing by now lmaooo)

Oooh I may have confused food intolerance with allergies! 😮 Allergies can develop any time I think? 😱

I really like milk products so I'm hoping I won't develop that at any time🙈

Yeah I noticed that too! Like all my older relatives prefer dark chocolate meanwhile I'm in the corner gnawing on milk chocolate🙈

My taste in vegetables changed a lot as I grew up❤️ But like, I still hate cabbage and eggplant and leek so much 😂 I can never eat them, no matter how they are cooked😂

I used to hate mushrooms and now I love them so so much! ❤️

Skiing or Ice-skating?

you’ve been visited by the Ghost of Christmas Past, the Ghost of Christmas Present and the Ghost of Christmas future. What did you find out?

fairy lights or neon signs?

have a good evening 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Skiing easily!😍🎿 i LOVE skiing and i do it quite often in the winter. It's definetly up there as one of my favourite sports to do. I also live near skiing resorts so that makes it easier. And yeah it's just so pretty skiing in snowy mountains, the views, sunshine ideally 😍 and i love the speed of skiing haha and making those deep turns.😄 random fact about me i ski since i was 3 or 4 years old.🙈

However i should definetly go ice-skating again some time, i haven't been in ages :)

___________________________________________

Mmh i was definetly very lazy when i was younger 😅 because i grew up being somewhat gifted in school so i thought i could half ass my way through subjects with my "talent"... even in higher grades. Well it worked with some but not all, there were those you needed to study much for or i was not great at. So that got me into some troubles i could have avoided. Also in the one's it worked the results could have been even better if i didn't do that. (which would have been helpful if ever want to study abroad) Besides it didn't give me a great work ethik ahah :/

Now it's surely better. I was not always like that only when i found out that there could be a perceived easy way for me lol. But for my paramedic training i studied so hard, more than almost all my colleagues for sure. Like 4-6 hours almost every day for more than a month. Plus the work i also had to do. It certainly helps that i found it really interesting what i studied and i can see to how it can lead to a future i can see myself in. But also i see how it did me no good in the past and i'm really proud on how much i studied for this because it really payed off. I also take some pride now i the things i know, in the things i learned. It's actually really impressive those people who know about many things or their special field of interest.🤯 I never thought about that when i was younger. Besides I suppose i'm also in a better space of mind now than i was then

Well in the future i hope i can continue that way when hopefully taking up a studies in that sector at university. That i will work hard and learn many interesting things which will lead to me being great at my profession and doing something i enjoy. 😊
