i think i may have just figured out “+ + + – –. – – + + + + +!” being “sometimes life gie you lemons. make lemonade!”.
+ + + is something very good, (life) turning into something bad (– –), lemons. and then the lemons turn into lemonade (+ + + + +), except this means lemonade is better than life, which is probably not true.^[citation needed]
