I Don't Wanna Fit In

We all need a handle on our money. It makes the world go round and sadly can make or break our lives. A lot goes into that we were never taught. Not by school or our family. If we’re lucky we wouldn’t have gotten any bad habits or beliefs, but that’s doubtful. So we need to be proactive in learning what we need.

 I’ve always had a love for wolves. I almost did my major on wildlife management and research. Though I didn’t go that route I have always wanted to keep learning about them. Which is quite funny since The International Wolf Center has always been in my state. It wasn’t until after college that I was able to finally visit.

We have been told very young to pick a career and work towards. With almost laser-like focus. Go to school or get whatever training you need. Just get the job and make money. But what if what you want doesn’t have an easy path? Or you most do it on your own so it's a lot of trial and error? There is no 6 step plan that can be implemented in 2 years. There’s no going back and I sure as hell don’t want to just take a job just because it's the easy answer. So sometimes you need to take odd jobs with odd hours just to have the time and space to build what you want.

Lollapalooza finally came back to Chicago in 2022. And the lineup was jam-packed. I only went for 3 of the 4 days. Even though I love music and enjoyed every day I went, I knew I would not have the energy to do it all. But I was in the city for a few days before and after to just hitting museums and going on artist dates.

There is the joke that rich kids and kids of celebrities all go into some kind of art. But people do not look into that deeply. Seeing that if people have the space to do what they want they want to create. That people want to put something out into the world.

We all remember growing up and people (mostly unknowingly) pushing that if you picture a nurse you see a woman, but see a man when thinking of a doctor. But luckily that sexism is changing. Because in every area there are prejudices about who is or should be something. That only rich people deserve vacations. Or only the well-educated can have well-paying jobs. Sexism, racism, and classism runs rampant.

 Words are such a peculiar thing. All language is made up and it took thousands of years before the written language was created. And throughout the years it shifted and changed. In modern times we can see in real-time new slang popping up and when it becomes less used. But that has been happening all throughout history.

Taking the road of being an artist, a creative, is never easy. There are millions of people who took a  safer way and that is a perfectly valid choice to make. We all need doctors, cleaners, waiters, and garbage people. Each job and way of life out there is important, but it needs to b your choice.
