↩ Jacob's Ephemerata

A blog of aggregated miscellanea and things I like uncovered from my daily travails. I'm @jacobjay, a peripatetic designer/developer of British persuasion, having interests in gastronomy, fashion, technology, interiors and sustainability. I'm currently living between New Delhi and France, working on a Lua web platform and e-commerce. I dig Macs, mountain biking and smelly cheese.

Remember that sour grapes fable? The fox can’t reach the grapes because they’re too high up so he tells himself the grapes are probably nasty anyway. Aesop knows what’s up. Just because something is out of your reach doesn’t mean it’s bad. It just means it isn’t yours. If the grapes are yours, you’ll get them. Otherwise, there’s something else out there for you. Today remind yourself: It’s not bad; it’s just not mine.
