Things that don't make sense

Have you ever stopped mid-conversation and thought… wait, why is this a thing? From silent letters that do absolutely nothing to “quick” five-minute errands that somehow take two hours, life is full of little mysteries that we’ve just collectively agreed not to question. This blog is a safe space to lovingly unpack the everyday things that simply… don’t make sense.



I am happy but some things that don’t make sense to me is why escalators are a bit scary. It doesn’t make sense why they have stairs. Stairs can be very scary! It doesn’t make sense why escalators can’t be flat or why we can’t just teleport to the top of the escalator. Steps don’t make sense to me. They are scary and intimidating and I don’t like them! It doesn’t make sense how people can use steps without being anxious. 
People who are mean don’t make sense. I don’t understand why they can’t just be nice. I love dogs and I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t. They are cute, fluffy and adorable! Thank you for listening to my blog, lots of love Ronalda.


Today's blog topic is things that don’t make sense.
Something that just doesn't make sense to me is that there are only six Disneylands in the world. I love Disneyland, it's the most magical place in the world and I think they should be everywhere. In Australia I think every state should have one. If I had a Disneyland nearby I would visit every weekend and be their best customer.
Another thing that doesn't make sense to me is why I only have one birthday a year. I love my birthday and would be fun if I had one every month. I like to go on holiday for my birthday with my family and have lots of fun. My birthday is coming up in March and I hope I get to go to China. 
What really doesn't make sense to me is why they don't have more movie sessions. Sometimes I want to go see a movie at a certain time but I can't because there's only one session that day and it's not when I want it. I think the movie should be on every hour so everyone can find a time that works for them.

Things that don’t make sense to me are new cars, and why have they changed the technology. Mechanics make sense to me but these new cars aren't very mechanical anymore they are all computerised and electric. 
Why on Earth do people use a small ute to tow a 6x6 trailer up the hill. Because in a small ute they are not powerful enough. The tyres will spin. This doesnt make sense to me because they can avoid this by calling a friend to use their ute or a different trailer. However, if they did try and tow a small 6x6 with a small ute then it would be funny because the ute would fall backwards because of the weight of the trailer. They might get squashed.

Another thing that doesnt make sense is 50 cent and JRule’s beef.  50 cent bought the front three rows of seats at his concert to play a prank on him. This doesn’t make sense because he spent alot of money on this even though it is hilarious.

At school I don't know what is maths because it doesn't make any sense to me. I was trying my animation in stop motion but the story doesn't make any more sense.
So I work hard to change it. Why are some horror movie so messed up, that doesn't make sense. Because I was watching Wolf Creek but in looks all right but is just messed up, because Mick Taylor he's the psychopath who likes killing everyone but I don't understand why people just can't be nice and not cut peoples bodies in half like in the movies. I don't understand why Chanel likes green apples and I like red apples. Red apples are better so it doesn't make sense why she likes green. I do lots of pretend for my stop motion program but I was so clever to the animation in 3D animation and stop motion.

Things that don’t make sense to me are people, especially people from my country. Sometimes they ask questions that make others feel awkward, such as, “When are you getting married?” or, “Why don’t you have a boyfriend?” Some even make comments like, “Oh my God, you gained weight.” I do not like comments like that because they make my heart hurt.
One time, I went to Indonesia in 2015, and my nan’s brother said to me, “You should be tall, drink milk and vitamins. You have to remember you are not a child anymore!” When he said that, I felt upset. I did not cry, but it did not stop me from enjoying my holidays. Luckily, when I went back to Indonesia last year, I did not meet him in person. I saw my other grandma’s siblings, and I said hello to them. They did not ask awkward questions. My aunts, uncles, and cousins were just very happy to see me in person again.
Even though I felt a bit anxious and excited before seeing my family because I thought they might ask awkward questions, they did not. I was worried for nothing. Have you ever felt like that before?
I also find it confusing why, when I was in primary school, my classmates were sometimes nasty to me even though I never hurt them. Some kids are just mean because I am quiet and an easy target. When kids are mean to me, they think I will never yell back. My dad said the reason I got picked on is because kids still do not understand empathy and kindness yet. Once they grow up, they understand empathy more. When I went to mainstream school, some kids did not understand that I am a special needs kid.
There was also another girl in high school who hung out with my friendship group but did not like me. One time we had a dress up day at school, and I suggested, “Let’s dress up as Mario characters.” She did not appreciate my idea, but everybody else was okay with it, so we still dressed up as Mario characters because the majority agreed. Even though that girl was rude to me, she sometimes says hi to me. I thought teenagers were more mature than little kids, but some teenagers can be nasty too. I do not understand why people are sometimes mean, but sometimes okay.
Math can also be confusing. I can do easy math like addition, subtraction, division, and times tables. I did Kumon when I was in kindergarten, but division with remainders was too hard, so I stopped. Later, in primary school, I got homework about division with remainders, and I think I did well.
Reading analogue clocks used to confuse me, but now I can read them, not just digital clocks. All my watches are analogue. I do not have a smart watch like my support workers and friends, but I do have a digital clock in my room. Do you wear a smart watch, or do you prefer a normal watch like me?
Thank you for reading! I hope you all love it as much as I love writing it.

Things that don’t make sense to me and make me confused is my blood sugar. Some times it goes up and some times it is down and that doesn’t make sense to me. I do my insulin and sometimes it’s still up but then sometimes it’s down.

Sometimes my mind gets angry quickly but I control myself to be calm or listening to music.

Dear readers, how are you?
Today's topic is about things that don't make sense and I have chosen to write about people such as strangers, people that bully others and people who are mean. I also don't like people who don't do anything and dont give space when asked or if they move away. I dislike being forced to be hugged or someone getting in my space without asking. It doesn’t take much to be kind to people so I don't understand why everyone isn't nice all the time.
It goes the same for certain types of foods for me like brussels sprouts etc. I don't like eating animals and I don't know why we need to as there are so many yummy foods that aren't animals so why can't we just eat those instead.
To be honest, scary movies are not for me or going to scary places. I like happy things. I find getting injections at hospitals a bit scary. 
Why can't our birthday be everyday? 
People who don't know how to drive on the road drive me a bit crazy, surely if you have your license you know how to drive and the rules.
Let us know below what doesn't make sense to you and if you agree with what doesn't make sense to me in the comments below.

Today’s blog is about things we just don’t understand. 
I don’t understand why people are placed in a mental asylum for different situations, like if they had a disability or are mentally unstable.  I find it hard and confronting that people who had kids and couldn’t handle them well would be placed into mental asylums. That isn’t nice or fair. It is so unfair that people would be locked up in their room and the only thing they can do is read or eat their meals looking out a window. I have been to Aradale Asylum and we learnt about an Indigenous lady who was refused entry into the actual buildings but was a patient and forced to reside in her tent by the rotunda. Now her family members go back to the asylum regularly to do a smoking ceremony to pay their respects to her. I would like to go back there to do a six hours paranormal investigation tour and go back into the rooms and watch the screens if they is any voices or shadow figures walking around or trying to make a conversation with us. Thank you for reading this blog. Ash.


Shan’s things that don’t make sense blog…
For most of my life I’ve questioned many things that just don’t make sense to me. As an incredibly deep thinker I analyse everything and question everything because I am on a life quest to understand as much as I can and also I have anxiety so overthinking is basically a hobby at this point. I feel like because I struggled to learn at school I have developed a hunger for the knowledge I might have missed out on. Now let’s get into it!
Humans being the main thing I don’t understand and yes, I am aware I am also human but that doesn’t mean a thing to my beautifully neurodivergent brain. For many people understanding social cues, sarcasm, jokes and having conversations with strangers, is something that some people take for granted, meanwhile I have to work on this so that I can understand what’s going on and to make sure that I don’t misread the situation as something that it’s not. I don’t understand why I have to work so hard to be human. I don’t want to look silly or like I’m struggling to tread water. While I’m much better now and I’m proud of that, this is still something I struggle with.

I also don’t understand unkind people, I don’t understand why there is a need to be unkind or cruel to other beings. I see the things that people can say and do, it just feels unnecessarily unkind and in some cases evil/cruel. I don’t understand what they are thinking that makes what they say or do feel ok to them. Some of the horrific things people have done really shock me because I would have never thought anyone would want to say or do these things. I also wonder about their mind and their wellbeing.
I wonder if they are ok, if they just need some kindness and support? But it’s just not something I can wrap my head around and I have thought about it a lot. I guess I’ll never understand this one.
I think there are many things in life we won’t understand but we can always strive to educate ourselves and learn what we can to try and understand. At least this is what I’m trying to do.
Your friend, 
Shan.

Dear readers, this week's topic are things that makes no sense. Let me start by telling you about things that makes no sense to me and this firstly is the happy birthday song and why it is sang for so long. Why is a red onion called a red onion especially when you take off the outside layers of the onion it looks purple.  Why in the past did we have torture devices in places like jail and yet today we don’t have any torture devices in jail. Another is why do other countries call soft drinks soda or pop because that makes no sense to me.  What is wrongful with everyone just calling it soft drink.
In general the human body makes no sense to me neither but that’s a big for another day  
Readers I have a question, what things make no sense to you?
