What you share is what the world keeps of you

"These Taylor Swift lyrics are actually coded messages saying that she's a lesbian and is forced to stay in the closet! Any lyrics that are clearly about being attracted to a man are just to throw us off the scent!" Sometimes people, like Taylor Swift, are straight and write about being straight, because they are straight.

"The fourth series of Sherlock was deliberately bad because it was actually a coded message to us fans that there is a secret fourth episode that will make Johnlock canon and will actually be good!" Sometimes writers (even experienced writers who are normally good at their jobs) will write something that's not good, because no one is perfect. They're not going to waste everyone's time and money and energy creating something terrible on purpose as part of a grand master plan.

"Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir, the Canadian Olympic ice dancers, are secretly married (with kids)! Their public relationships with people who are not each other and them repeatedly saying 'we dated as kids and now we're just friends' are just to hide the truth! Which they need to hide for some reason! Their relationship is obvious just from their physical chemistry when competing! JUST LOOK AT THIS TWO SECOND CLIP OF HIM BLINKING AT HER!" It seems counterproductive to put all that thought into hiding a relationship that doesn't need to be hidden but then also telegraph that same relationship in front of millions of people through planned choreography.

"But BB, what about times that people really are speaking in code or hiding something due to outside influences?"

If it requires huge leaps in logic, like adding all the letters in a sentence together and dividing by seventeen and that number matches the binary sequence for the color yellow so YELLOW MUST BE SIGNIFICANT, it's not a secret code.

If it requires focusing on teeny tiny details but discards huge ones, like analyzing someone's micro-expressions but handwaving away what the person is actually saying out loud with their mouth, or focusing on one specific line instead of the entire scene or song or whatever, it's not a secret code.

If both supporting and contradictory evidence are used to come to the same conclusion (ex: when Taylor says something that I interpret as gay, that means she's gay, and when she says something that I interpret as straight, that still means she's gay and just hiding it), it's not a secret code.

Dad, I still can’t believe you’re gone. It hasn’t sunk in, or rather, I don’t want it to. It’s so hard to imagine that I’ll never see you again, that we’ll never talk again. I know you were suffering and that this is for the best, but you left us too soon. We still had so much left to enjoy together.

You asked me so many times to play in one last World Cup, and just days before it started, your condition got much worse. It was the first time you weren’t going to be there for a tournament, but Mom kept telling me you were going to get better and that you’d be well enough to travel. I told you we were going to make it to the final so you could come.

We made it to the final, and you couldn’t be there. I wanted to win it for you, to bring you another one and show it to you. I couldn’t. My legs had nothing left in them. This time I tried to push past what my body was telling me, but I couldn’t. I never felt right.

When I got home, you thought we had lost the final on penalties. We never got the chance to talk about any of what happened. You couldn’t enjoy any of it. We didn’t become champions, but you have no idea how much we enjoyed every single match. Once again, you were right. I had to be there and play.

I don’t know what I’m going to do without you. I don’t know how to keep going. I only ever played football, and now I have more and more doubts about whether I’ll keep doing it for much longer. You were by my side from the very beginning. We were so close to the finish line. Why couldn’t you hold on just a little longer so we could reach it together?

I’m going to miss you so much, but you’ll always be with me, and especially in the way I raise my children, because I’m teaching and raising them the way you and Mom raised me.

Rest in peace, and watch over us from up there like you always did here. Thank you for everything.

For example:

He was only six and he can’t remember it but he was in the ground with his dad Jorge when Maradona made his debut for Newell’s Old Boys in October 1993, scoring the winner in a friendly against Ecuadorian side Emelec. It was Maradona’s only goal for Messi’s club, but it was enough. A connection had formed that only deepened, for good and bad...

When Maradona passed, Messi scored an exact copy of that Maradona goal as a homage then lifted his shirt to reveal that he was wearing Maradona's shirt from that day underneath.

In 2007, he scored an exact copy of Maradona's most famous goal.
