You're 37 years old. You still live with your parents. You're single. (You've been on dates. It just doesn't work out.) You don't have any kids. You graduated from college with a BS degree a while ago. You're not pursuing it. You don't have a full-time job. You're self-employed. That's me. It might not be normal to you. What is normal? A friend told me that I must move out of parents' house in order to date and grow.
A relative told me, "You can start a family only if you go back to school. Study Physical Therapy. Graduate. Then you're set with life." Someone told me, "When are you gonna have your own place?" People don't agree with me. My life isn't normal to them. I see the highlight of people's lives in social media. They're successful. I gotta keep the mind in check. People can post anything they want in social media. For instance, a couple purchased a new house. They post it on Instagram. No one knows that a relative co-signed the home. The couple doesn't give them credit. Welcome to social media. My revenue isn't enough if I ever start a family. I've followed my passion as a career before. I didn't enjoy it. Now I wanna chase money. I need the money now. A friend told me that I need to find a middle ground between passion and money, or else your life would be miserable. I see people with full time jobs. They have the steady paycheck. They always look forward when they're off. Because work is stress. They need a break from work. They would spend it on shopping, dining, or etc. It's a cycle. I don't want that life. Go with what works for you. Society talks about "normal" for me. Society wants a legacy from me. Society pressures me. I'm worried about my life. I want the best version of myself. We're gonna die. We'll be forgotten unless you are Jesus. Society wants me to be successful without any help from others. I was born from my parents. I didn't come to this world alone. I help them too. We help each other. Be your own normal. You become successful by the help of others. A friend asked me, "What's your biggest fear in life?" I responded, "My parents aren't gonna live forever. Am I able to survive without them?" "I can work," I continued. "I do work. I'll be fine then." Now I find my balance between passion and money. |
