The Rise to Adulthood

The rise to Adulthood, is about handling more & more & more responsibility. That is what it boils down to. From Birth until Adulthood, it is just one pile of duties, dumped on top of another set of duties.
Think about it. When you are a baby, what are your responsibilities? Zero. Your parents & Grandparents take care of you. Life is easy. When your 16, you have to do more on your own. You get a driver's license and are in charge of getting yourself to and from school, places and life. Then comes college and you're literally, "kicked" out of your childhood home. As college students your life responsibilities grow. You make your own decisions on course selection, living conditions, social clubs, etc. After graduation as a twenty-something you've got even more to handle. The Rise to Adulthood climbs the Mountain. As a twenty something your forced to work and pay for you own life. Work is real! Life costs money, and as the growing adult, you learn that you have to pay for it, yourself. For some people it gets even more dire. They get married, have children, mortgages and not only are they responsible for their life, taxes etc, but their children and family's well being too. Yikes.
The difference between "grown-ups" and kids is the amount of crap they are liable for and have to do. That is it. Personality wise, we humans are similar. We like to have fun, enjoy jokes, and try to be friendly & easy-going. I guess what I'm saying is, CHERISH YOUR FREEDOMS in LIFE. Maybe you've got a whole day to "Ferris Beuler it away." Maybe you've only got 30 minutes for a relaxing coffee break in the sun? Regardless, in your inevitable "RISE TO ADULTHOOD" please remember to CHERISH YOUR FREEDOOM in LIFE.

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

People and their PETS.

Image
In the style of Jerry Seinfeld, " What's the deal with people and their pets? Dogs especially. What is the mass human attraction to dogs as pets? What in the minds and soul attracts humans to caring for, paying, walking and being an owner for these animals? Please help me understand . I mean, in my humble opinion, the negatives for dogs are, they can't talk with humans. A dog will never be able to speak and converse with their owner. Also they must constantly be cared for, bathed, walked, fed, leashed, cleaned up after and more. What joy do these dogs and animals bring? In addition dogs cause destruction to real estate, & are tough to constantly care for. They also smell and are not universally loved or accepted by guests. Am I not being OPEN MINDFUL to dogs and pets? If so please share their positives for me. I am not perfect, and can recognize mistakes and being wrong. Some perhaps better alternatives to dogs, are, ready, friends, girlfriends, significant o

How are we ENTERTAINED?

DO you like to be entertained? IF your human, most people do and enjoy laughter, muses, lights and more. Just like the Kings and Jesters of yesteryear, in the modern age, we love ENTERTAINMENT too! Are you OPEN MINDFUL to different forms on entertainment? Which are your favorites? For example, off of the top of my head, I can think of books, live music, movies, television, broadway shows, bars & nightclubs, restaurants, stores, shopping malls, stand up comics, vacations, social media, friends, and the such. Am I leaving your favorite form out? Personally, I am open minded to various forms of entertainment. I love tv, live music, and nightlife. Yet, as the entertainment field changes and morphs, could be up for anything fresh? What are your favorite forms? Do you abstain from entertainment? Could this even be possible? In so as fas as an industry, would ENTERTAINMENT be fun to work in? Recently a fellow local Austinite, mentioned, I should try out ACTING for a year. It wa
