A drink or 2

Sat night was the UFC fight, I'm not into any of that but rather than staying home I went along with my husband and brother inlaws to a bar in our area. After the fight we all came back to our place and had a few drinks. I have 3 brother inlaws there are 4 boys including my husband all ranging in the ages of 20-30, my husband being the oldest.

Seems as though we are all going through that stage of "what is life all about anyway!"? Some more than others. I myself have been self analyzing me since I was 21 (the year my dad passed) So I feel I'm a little ahead of them as far as personal growth goes, altho i still have soo soo much to learn.

So we talked about social conditioning of society, the whole ; go to school, get a job, get married, buy a house, have a family etc etc... I myself had a really hard time working on my own business because I felt my worth was based on what type of "job" I had.

We all know that to be happy we need to follow what we want for ourselves which each of us has different ways of wanting to be, some more materialistic than others, some wanting to give back more to the world, some wanting to travel and some just wanting to get by.

But the main thing was, that yes we know we must follow what we want for "ourselves" but when it's different than what society or parents tell you then we find it extremely hard to break free.

Clear example of my husband and I wanting to move to San Diego, even for just 6 months... but there are sooo many rules, who will take care of our house?do we sell the house and just travel? do we save a certain amount before we go? How will our families react? Is it wrong to stop what we've been building to follow the excitement and adventure of travel?... SEEE the RULES! But we also understand that these are our own family/society rules. Other families/people that are more independent most likely will laugh at these rules. In reality tho, my grandparents immigrated to Canada from Italy and my Husbands parents immigrated to Canada from Honduras... and they had to make it with NO money and with little kids! So where did those rules come from? Is it a Canadian thing? Our own family thing? and why are we finding it so hard to break free of what has been taught to us.

At the end of our conversation we all felt that we need to start breaking free, and I think as soon as the first one does it, then the others will feel it will be OK to follow their dreams regardless of what they are! So who's first!? My husband and I feel that we need to fix this and help our siblings take risk and live life... and thus, my blog is growing towards a dream, so we will see! ;)

Fellow Followers I will be happy to read what you think!

Happy Monday!!!
