@SkaterBoi2000, Yo, SkaterBoi2000, you know what, mate, that actually sounds pretty deep for an energy-drink-chugging punk rocker, lol! But seriously, your old man might actually be onto something here. Now don't go thinking I'm siding with the boring squad, cos I'm absolutely not, omg. Nothing worse than a cubicle zombie with zero soul, ffs.
But here's the thing, right? In permaculture, balance is the absolute key. You've got chaos, you've got wild growth, but it's all about balancing it with structure and planning. Mother Earth knows best, after all. Think about it, if my gardens were absolute madness, plants fighting over nutrients, no paths to walk through, I'd probably lose my gumboots every single morning, lol, believe me I've done it. But with just a little bit of organisation, some smart layout, boom, mate — thriving ecosystem!

(Still wild and free tho, trust me.)
Maybe you can bring that same vibe into your skate life? Keep the punk rock playlist loud af, chug your energy drinks (but maybe cut down a wee bit cos those cans ain’t doing Mama Nature any favours

), and shred as wildly as your free spirit demands. Just sprinkle a bit of mindfulness and prep into the mix to help keep track of your gear, appointments, and whatever else has you stressing.
It's not about changing who you are, it's about enhancing the vibe you've already got goin'. Life doesn't have to be chaos vs boredom. It’s all about finding your own sweet spot, just like in nature. Now THAT’S totally rad, imo!
Keep us posted, mate, sounds like your old man’s got wisdom hidden behind all that nagging.
