Hellllllooooo all!

Today turned out to be super busy for a garden variety day off.

Here’s the deal…

We’ve often been taught: We should figure out what we want in childhood. AND? Stay in that lane until we retire at 64.

Yes. This is changing with younger generations. I love this cuz there’s a real honesty to this. Not everyone will be happy being an employee BUT BUT BUT that’s what our public K-12 school systems assume is best for everyone.

How do they know this?

I don’t know if you know… My fancy pants went to 10 different schools in a variety of states. Why yes… They often put me in the classes for the cognitively challenged kids. Why? I wasn’t good at complying. Formative school like that was soooooooo boring to me.

I still feel that way about stuff. Being bored is a fate worse than death.

How does this relate to being “boxed in?” If I had only had one traditional job living in one traditional place with a traditional marriage??? I would have gone crazy faaaaaaaaaar sooner than I did in real life.

EXCEPT…

What really is crazy? Who decides this standards? And why would we give them so much power over our lives? I’ve been wrestling with these questions for decades.

AND?

A big part of me writing out these blogs? I’m documenting the process of me learning to give the middle finger to those “authorities” thinking they know best for my life. When really? They know what’s best for them. It may not apply to me in the slightest.

So?

In honor of me not “boxing in” myself???? I talk about working on my various projects rather than only “staying in my own lane.”

How can this relate to you? If someone gives you this “sage” advice… Always to good to ask: Do they benefit more from you staying in that lane or you following your heart. I’ll say for myself: Asking this question has generated some interesting results in my life.

As always: Have a glamorous day for fun!!
