A Harsh Reality of Life Many Are Afraid to Admit
You can sense something is off but you’re not sure what.
One day you wake up next to a person you don’t know, or love. A person that was conditioned the same as you at an early age to follow the heard.
You had kids like you were supposed to. You got the house, marriage, maybe a career, or perhaps your partner has the career while you fill the lack luster role of taking care of the house, and kids.
You’ve had the 2–4 weeks vacation a year you spend your whole year waiting for. The vacations come and go and it still didn’t give you that sense of purpose.
Vacations are the same life as home, but a different location is all.
You try and live vicariously through others by their fake ass Facebook post.
You are able to escape temporarily doing that. Hell, you might even partake in the circus and throw some of your imaginary happiness on your page.
Here you will anxiously await for the “likes” and outside approval to give your dopamine a kick that haven’t fired in quite some time.
Then, that doesn’t work, and you subconsciously start grooming your kids to do what you failed to do in life. Maybe they can accomplish what you never had the courage to pursue.
