But also your life is already bigger than the 1950s dream. Ten years ago did you really think you would be doing all the things you are doing? And all the things you have done? You've already allowed yourself to be carried and exposed yourself to things I'm guessing you didn't plan on. <br /><br />Mostly what this post is about is if you <i>want</i> to accomplish something more you can.Rebekahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593244940444065607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3237794639434998743.post-51646649433676631902009-10-23T09:15:53.423-07:002009-10-23T09:15:53.423-07:00While I agree that it's important that we not ...While I agree that it's important that we not feel limited in what we want to do, I disagree with your denigration of a life of "go to school, graduate, get married, have kids, retire, have grandkids, and then die" as a life that is small and dissatisfying. I aspire to exactly that kind of life - where I help create both a biological and chosen family that is loving, supportive, and open-minded. I am fulfilled by being social, by living a positive life and putting positive energy into the world. I don't feel the need to make a huge splash. I don't try for "big" things (for me, this would be working towards a higher ranking in rugby, or devoting myself to activism in my free time) not because I feel "limited" - I believe that I could achieve these things - but because I know that they will not make me feel as happy and fulfilled as living a life that you seem to consider small.<br /><br />I know you have dreams and goals of being famous and publishing your book, and I hope that you achieve them. But I don't think you need to put down the dreams and goals of people who choose to take other paths in the process.Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794085458372698362noreply@blogger.com
