I've had some time to think about the "so-called" American dream with the big house and the picket fence and I realize that I vehemently reject this dream. For me, the very definition of insanity is working all day and all week long to barely afford a house that you get to spend so little time in. Society considers this normal but to me it's crazy.
It's only now that I'm beginning to climb out of the deep, dark cavern of depression that I realize what really counts in my life. My goal is to have a modicum of freedom and to go from being employed to being an independent contractor. I don't want a home or family, just to be able to earn a living and live out my years in relative happiness. I'm not meant to live the traditional life as expected by society. If this puts me on the fringe, so be it. A rich life does not necessarily need to be a conformist one.
