Great post- times are indeed tough- saw one of my favorite Uncles this past weekend- very interesting guy- LBJ's lead WH photographer back when photography was really important- anyways I told him the American dream is done- they have fee'd and taxed it to death. He nodded in agreement.

Personally I qualify for more than one on that check off list you wrote but these days I think I do a really great job of living in the now which allows you to jump OUT of the rat wheel and take charge of your own life.

I don't give a flying F- and I believe that's the key- I know what I truly am and how meaningless this production really is- it will play out- I know my role- just living in the NOW.

And as someone else above noted this is a community unlike any I've seen on social media where one can be themselves and be honest- even painfully honest.
