The Minute You Think You Have Life Figured Out, You’re Settling
People do it every day and have yet to learn what their problem is.
Life can’t be what we have been conditioned to believe, can it? I mean, are we really supposed to seek out that one person out of 7 Billion and call them ours? Are we supposed to have kids by at least 30 and give up life as we thought we knew it but don’t.
Is that selfish?
Actually, I don’t think it is. I think you can put a twist on it and say most are selfish for bringing kids into their mess before getting their shit straight. As a matter of fact, it’s very selfish. Most are having the kid for the wrong reason. And look around; they sure as shit don’t love them because most people don’t love themselves.
Then we think of a career. But most think career before having kids. Or after they have kids, they see this little bastard isn’t giving them that “ALIVE” feeling they’ve been searching for since the beginning of time, so now they shift. Fuck the kid; I need a god damn career. That will make me happy!
But will it?
Nope, then comes the mid-life crisis. Many refer to this as a “man” thing, but it can go both ways, don’t bullshit yourself. After the kids, the marriage and career…
