Ironically, children are less childish than a lot of adults and animals are better at being human than many humans.

What’s your why? 

Here’s one of mine: up there with the most inspiring role models a younger brother could have.

Growing up with Asperges is tough –bullying so rough that it almost broke our family (it probably didn’t help that Dad was neurodivergent too). 

Jacko bounced between jobs after high-school, before landing on a banana farm, where he grinded it out for 7 years in the FNQ humidity. Respect the hustle. 

Wanting to do something different, J-Farns attained numerous tickets, certificates and machinery licenses after work and on weekends – he tried and failed (and tried again) to pursue something better. 

Fast forward a few years and the OG Farnsy moves to the city from our small hometown and works 3 gigs: security guard across multiple companies, forklift operator in warehousing, and delivery driving with Doordash and Menulog.

He does this all while training in the gym, learning BJJ and riding his fucking road-bicycle all over FNQ.

This mans work ethic cannot be matched.

Still thinking “how could I be doing better” – Jack invested in himself, signed on with TAFE to do a Cert 3 in Educational Support and is loving it. He hopes to become a teacher aide and get back into school settings to help young people, even after his overtly negative experiences.

From my older brother I have learnt three main lessons: don’t be afraid to be yourself, don’t be afraid to go your own way, and most importantly - don’t ever fucking give up.

I used to wish Jacko was a bit more like the other kids - that way I wouldn’t have been playing by myself at home so much. Ambling around the rainforest cutting at tress pretending I was fighting zombies. 

But the older I get, the more I realise he was the role model I needed. 

The older I get, the more I realise that the best parts of me I got from him:

Work hard, be yourself, stay fit, never give up, give everybody the time of day and go your own way.

We’re spiraling up together @jack_attornyatlaw_farnsworth - better see you down here before August 💪❤️
