There's an author I read a lot who repeatedly makes a point in this writing: there are things in my writing you won't be able to understand before you get older, there is just no way. I have to say, it is so true. There are layers of layers I can only see when I get older.
Remember when you are a teenage in high school and teachers explain subtle messages in the reading? You and all your classmates are like: this is bs, totally made up by the teacher, even the author didn't think of those. Then after you get older and you may realize: those subtle messages are just so obvious and they just can't be explained to people without life experiences.

- b3morales 5y agoI don't know if this is who parent meant, but it's certainly one of C.S. Lewis's not-so-subtle themes in the Chronicles of Narnia.

- Forgeties79 5y agoI don’t know even in hindsight there were plenty of “sometimes a door is just a door” moments with my teachers haha. Jokes aside, totally agree with you. Definitely something you learn with age

Then after you get older and you may realize: those subtle messages are just so obvious I think about this a lot. When consuming media, I constantly notice these kinds of messages. As you said: It’s almost impossible not to. But back in school, I was convinced that 95% was made up.
