That's the way it was - over much of the world.

What happened?

"And I'm so supremely grateful that I was raised that way. I'm absolutely certain that early autonomy paid off later in life in countless ways."

I'm holding back tears to know others are grieving like me.

It's so terribly sad.

Too many cars moving too fast and too much information coming at us from all over. It’s hard to slow down. Everything is coming at us faster than before.. tv, ads, social media.

The negative news cycle, violent tv and movies paint a world that is different than things really are.

Hardly anyone knows their neighbors anymore and everyone is stressed trying to pay the bills. People live far away from their extended families and even the local babysitters are $$. We want credentialed babysitters etc…

Desirable places to live with job centers are expensively unaffordable and require long commutes.

Then with the internet and cell phones your job never really ever ends. It’s a blessing and a curse that you can work from anywhere at any time.

You can see why France banned emails after work.

Change how you choose to live. That’s all you can do. But most people will just shrug and keep living a way they claim to hate because they don’t care that much.
