Who are YOU?
|
Who are YOU? No, this isn't CSI or a review of the band The Who  Not that those wouldn't be good subjects of discussion of course...but I digress...I saw something today while driving down the street that made the little hamster in my head get on his wheel for a few laps the results of which I am sharing with you now...aren't you just so lucky!!  I saw a guy driving a very beautiful, slightly lifted truck with all the chrome polished etc. etc. etc. My initial thought was, "Lucky guy, must be nice to have all kinds of money to afford something like that." Jealous maybe??  Nooooooo, of course not. But then I thought a little more about the thousands of possible ways his life could have worked out for him to get him where he is today.  But is he happy? Is he comfortable? I do not know.Then I thought about what could be described as the opposite, someone like me who has lived a fun life, spent money, never had any real responsibilities, scraped by, chased the dream of being in a successful rock band, went from job to job too many times etc. etc. etc.  Yeah, I know, I've heard it many times but I certainly don't buy into it....fully....  Sometimes I measure my "adultness" to others who have a career, a house, a family, etc. and I feel like I screwed up because I have none of that and really nothing to show for my existence but a lot of good memories. I wonder sometimes if I would have been any happier with living the "normal" adult life, stay in school, learn something for a life of a career etc. That amount of responsibility makes me cringe, I just couldn't do it.Must learn have balance Danielsan I know there are people who can manage that scene and do it well and others who get by without issue and there are also people who have a balance, a little of both worlds. I know they're out there because I know people who "fit" into these 3 basic general categories. Please, share with the rest of the class...comments, viewpoints, stories, whatever... Who are YOU?? Everyone is on a different plane of intelligence. Some people's plane has not taken off yet!!  |

I too have raised two wonderful children almost by myself. They both have careers in which they help people. They made my Mother's Day a wonderful day yesterday. Having a lot of good memories like you have are priceless and worth more than any amount of money. I have struggled most of my life, but I've a few wonderful friends again worth more than any amount of money.

I've had a lot of responsibilities, a kid, 3 step kids, now 2 grandkids living with me. I've had some good jobs that paid good enough that I should have more to show for it, but put a lot of my money up my nose in my younger years. I finally decided to open my own business so I could make REAL money,    I make less now than I did 20 yrs ago. BUT, I've learned to manage money, learned to NOT put anything up my nose, and learned how to get by on what I need with what I have. I see those "lifted" trucks, those $20,000 Harleys, none of that appeals to me. Life's experiences mean a lot!WITHOUT PASSION LIFE IS NOTHING

Who am I? Someone with high standards, who made choices in her life, paid the consequences, and stood by what I believe, without ever tarnish my integrity. I raised a hell of a son, very intelligent (168 I.Q.) my little genius  , who is following his Mother steps when it comes to integrity, and standing tall!Yeah, maybe the truck looked cool and so forth, but remember that the best things in life are those money cannot buy!!!!  WITHOUT PASSION LIFE IS NOTHING

Who am I ??? I knew at a very young age what "I wanted to do when I grew up". I've worked so hard in an industry that has given me as much as it took from me. I've been very fortunate to make a comfortable salary but it has come with many sacrifices. I think what describes me best is passion ... Everything I do is based in passion. Great thought provoking post ... Do you have any Primal Urges ... I do, please CUMHANDLEME and explore some of my naughty and nice Primal ... Urges with me !!!

According to the latest quiz on AssPlace, I'm Beaver Cleaver. "You may be all grown up, but at heart you're a kid that keeps letting your curiosity get the best of you. You mean well, but you're not always so great at remembering and following advice. You'd like to grow up, but why bother? You're having so much fun as an eternal kid!" Oddly enough, I think they got me about right. I liked the beaver cleaver part too. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

"Sometimes I measure my "adultness" to others who have a career, a house, a family, etc. and I feel like I screwed up because I have none of that and really nothing to show for my existence but a lot of good memories." I've done the "stay in school/return to school/study" thing. But other than that I feel about the same. I feel other adults are "successful". Married, kids, career, own a house. And against that I feel like a failure. Though my dad pointed out "Who says you have to be "successful" anyhow? And what does it mean?" Successful doesn't have a stationary point. It differs for everyone. And at different times. All you *really* have to do is breathe and pay taxes. Anything after that is bonus.
