Work long and hard... and then retire and slowly wither away in your old age.

If you are society's bitch, this is very likely what your "happy" life blue print will look like. Almost everyone does this, and it's not a coincidence: people do as they are told. Told by the movies, by their friends and family, books, tradition, religion, even government subsidies, and the education system, conditioned into obedience. So they, what are the odds that this is indeed everyone's dream rather than something imposed on them covertly externally, as I believe to be the case?

But just today, I've freed you from the bullshit :D The blueprint above is not available to you, so you have to ACTUALLY pick what you'd like to do with your life. I invite you to leave a comment below, and come up with an alternative plan. Be serious, use your imagination, and fuck doing as you are told.

What really hurts is that people can get upset at you for not following this path. People keep trying to convince me to be 'normal' and have gotten upset at me, even angry at me, for not being normal. A lot of people want the 'normal' ways of solving problems to work for me and disregard what actually works. A bunch of stuff keeps happening.

Would I be allowed to share this on Facebook? I think you wouldn't mind, but figured I'd ask.
