I had to frequently decide which parent, should I spend Christmas with. For many years it ended up being neither, because it all seemed so fake and forced and lots of discussions about how well my brother is doing in Austrailia, good for him. He is the one person in the world I am indifferent about. I do not care and will not pretend to.

100% Helen. Glad that you are so transparent. It makes you a character here on Steem. People will know who you are when they hear or read the name "HopeHuggs".

Why today, do they not show children or teach children there is more options out there than just a 9 to 5 job. The world is full of opportunities, you don't have to be stuck behind a desk in a boring office, where gossips gather around the water cooler and poison the air.

Absolutely agree again. Fuck that 9-5 shit. That shit is for slaves who want to die with regrets.

BTW 'Society' might be family, or a partner - anyone that tries to suppress the person you are. We only have one life. Make it one that is lived fully and by your rules.

Agree with this whole post. This will be resteemed.
