Hello, been awhile since I posted anything here, but I've been recovering very well! I feel back to normal but am continuing medication and therapy.
Anyway.. I'm about a month away from returning to 40 hour per week slavery.. and I'm just not feeling it. I'm a free Spirit and my Spirit hates being forced to be an hourly slave just to get by. I wanna learn to brew craft beer (I even have my company named) and I wanna build guitars and I wanna do charity work and make hot pepper sauce to sell, etc.... but the start up to do much of this will be more than I could afford at a 40 hour per week slave-wage job. I'm not lazy, I can outwork just about anyone.. I just hate being forced to do it for hardly anything.. because good jobs are not easy to find.. if they were everyone would have them lol. I've prayed to win the lotto, but I can't usually afford to spend the money on tickets, so I don't see that happening. It's not like it was 150 years ago where people can sustain their lived without working for other people.. heck even 30 years ago that was more doable. Why can't I 'Win For Life' and hit on one of those scratch offs so I could live my own way, like my Spirit is telling me I need to live. I'm a good person, why can't I catch one of those huge breaks? That's be a God send, it'd be amazing! Has anyone else felt like this before? Their Spirit telling them to 'be free' but being forced to conform to the 40 hour slavery? Did therapy help? Did medication help? |

Absolutely. Did therapy help? Did medication help? Not by themselves. |

For the last couple months I've been doing odd jobs and selling stuff for money.. I'm now buying stuff to buy and sell online hoping I can start doing that.. but we'll see how that works out. Hopefully it does. Some people just aren't a 'cookie cutter' cutout who can sustain years of 8 hour slavery.. they just gotta do their own thing! Could you imagine if Jesus or any self-made man was forced to comply with the times? It's horrible.. hopefully I can catch a lucky break sometime very soon. |

Sorry, that last post was after a few beers.. what I meant was if these self-made people we hold so dear from History were forced to comply with OUR TIMES.. forced to work $9/hour jobs just to get by or whatever, you know what I mean.

Unfortunately/fortunately, I know what you mean. If you look around, and nothing seems to fit, you won't be the only person who feels that way, but it can seem like you are. The world needs innovators, we can't all be drones, so I encourage you, first, to be true to yourself.
Second, or maybe this should be first, be good to yourself. That means, not only being true to who you are, but make your personal health a priority. By doing this, you will avoid many of the pitfalls that appear in your path when you dare to be different. One of them is addictions. When we can't find comfort within our society, it's natural to isolate ourselves and look for an escape. When you choose your escape, make it one that supports a positive life experience for yourself. Avoid negative and unhealthy distractions. You are going to need a lot of personal inner strength and determination. You are going against the grain and against the current of 'normalcy' when you innovate. People will attempt to tell you you're wrong, your determination will make them uncomfortable, your successes will be signals to others that they are doing something wrong and they will try to hold you back and force you to behave in the same ways they do. Stay true to what you feel passionately is right for you and keep good health as part of your target. Maybe you won't ever reach your material goals but, you'll live longer even if you don't. One thing that's occurred to me lately is how so many people are searching for happiness. They seem to think there is a place in their life they will eventually reach where it's all smiles and no pain and they think if they smile a lot, that means they have reached the highest point of happiness. For me, I've given up searching for that kind of happiness. Life isn't, and probably never will be, all happiness. People die and that's a sadness that won't change until we learn how to live forever. Instead of reaching for happiness, I now reach for love. Love lets me smile, when smiling is good, and it lets me cry when I need to. Could you try getting some work at the craft beer factory near you? Learn more of what it's about? Learn the skills and methods, then innovate and adapt them to your own recipe? Just some thoughts. |

I am also a free-spirit. I work in the Dept. of Math and Statistics at a University, and I am a dancer, singer, writer,poet. Nothing changes who I am; we have to live in a world that is different from who we are.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
