Interesting “Get your shit together Thursday” this week.
Ever get that situation where you are already grown up, gone to college, or trying to find yourself, and you have family nagging the crap out of you to do something with your life?
Or maybe you have a father, or a mother, who wants you to be something in their frame of mind, and totally devoid of personal choice. For example, Your dad wants you to be captain of the football team and maybe go to school to be a douchebag professional like he is?
Or Maybe your mom is wanting to live visions of grandeur, and quite possibly chasing some pipedream that just doesn’t seem to be realistic no matter what possibilities are out there. And due to that, maybe there is some lack of financial and emotional stability.
Anyway, I am not generalizing, but you realize that family has a strong influence on some individuals and that sometimes it gets way out of control. Sometimes it really interferes with your persona and lifestyle, and sometimes it drives you insane.
Sometimes ignoring their influence will end up having them shunning you. Kinda like some folks in my family. My family has come from a long line of “Get out of high school, then have a family and settle mentality.” I am a bit too urban for that. They just cannot compute my love for the finer things in life, Vespa Scooters and such.
I decided to live an Urban lifestyle, where people want to have fun, stay single for a bit be career driven, and enjoy the atmosphere and what’s to live for before hunkering down to a family and settling for a depressing road ahead which I probably wouldn’t enjoy.
Sometimes it is a tough decision to see where to take action. You have to look deep within yourself and what you really want to do with your life. Maybe you really do not need your family to become who you want to be. Maybe just visiting them for the holidays and birthdays and such are ok.
Or maybe you are going to stick with the family ideal and live that lifestyle. To each their own.
But in the case that you have to tell them no, mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for a possible long road of issues, but somehow learn to overcome them, and MOVE ON!!!
