I have always considered myself “not normal”. At first, I thought it was bad and that I should conform. I spent my fair share of time trying to do so, it didn’t work. In 2009, normal me disappeared. Now everything is different. In my work, I’m the only single person in an office filled with the married with 2.5 kids. It makes life interesting!

That would be exhausting and when I should be putting all my energy into one thing I’m trying to figure how I should be and act, no thanks. I can see why you tossed Tim. When we worry about what everyone thinks that means we’ve given up on ourselves. I represent myself, take it or leave it.

Sun, 19 May 2013 00:42:56 +0000 http://blog.canadian-dream-free-at-45.com/?p=5622#comment-96094 I guess it isn’t very normal to…

1. Not own a smartphone — people find it strange, even shocking to not be connected to the internet 24/7

2. Not drink — Don’t like it.

3. … oh forget it, there’s a whole host of other things I don’t do either.

But I feel better. I am happier, I feel good, and frankly, being “normal” is overrated if I’m going to die of heart disease, stress, owning a bunch of crap I don’t use and being UNhappy.

Being different is not quite as comfortable, but the options are so much more exciting.
