My parents mean well and keep telling me to go back to school. I am 22 now, I guess school wouldn’t be too much of a problem.. I just don’t really see the point. I mean I understand why they want me to go it’s just, statically, degrees don’t even really help you that much anymore as far as finding a job goes. And for me, I don’t even really want to go into a profession that requires a degree. Ugh, I used to want to be a heart surgeon and studied really hard with excellent grades and as far as my parent’s know, they think I still have thoughts of doing that but in reality, I’ve lost all interest in that now.
I still want to be medical in a way but not in a way that anybody really practices anymore. I want to be a sort of shaman with natural herbs and just natural ailments. I’ve read and learned so much about what our our american doctors do these days and it’s just disgusting! I want to make my own mixtures of things and heal people’s life energy like in some ancient Chinese villages.
Now my family is all about money. My father is a business owner and my mother is a stay at home mom who SPENDS MONEY so both of them are always telling me I need money. Look.. As weird as it sounds. I don’t really care all that much about being rich. I just want a little cob hut lost in the woods where I can grow herbs and heal people naturally and everyone will leave me alone. I don’t want to take over the business, I don’t want to go become a heart surgeon, I don’t want all of that responsibility. I just want to follow my dreams, live with the land like tribal people, and forget the rest. Yet I can’t tell my parent’s this. I’ve tried multiple times and they only laugh and say ‘What, like a hippy?’
They just don’t take it seriously. And unfortunately, it’s not just them. Nobody takes me seriously! I mean it when I say, NO I don’t want to follow in those same foot steps of wake up, be miserable and make money until you die. I want to save up a little for land, build a house on that land out of the land materials (trees etc and make a farm) and just live off the grid away from jobs, stress, drama, and b*******. It’s so easy. I’ll be able to be living as one with mother earth, using only what I need from her, leaving a minimal footprint on my part. This could be a whole new way of green life in the future!! Why is that so hard to understand or accept? I want to be natural. To hell with all of today’s societies chemicals, money, greed, and disgusting perverts. I’m sick of it all! Heck, I should just disappear while hiking some day. It happens all the time!
