play music, learn a second language, study hard, go to uni, become a professional, get married, move out of home, buy a house, have kids, save money for retirement, and repeat. stopping to think twice about this paved path that so many have trodden on and then looked back forlornly, has thrown me off it for good. such cultural straight and narrows have been my bugbears for so long it's time to crash tackle them. it only takes one bad egg to stink out the nest, and catalytically so if that egg came out a funny shape and has no shame or fear of smells wafting to the neighbours. sniff away!
certain aspects of my semi-culture are great, but then there are the questionables: the boxes that i refuse to tick without some reasonable explanation and justification as to why they're there. it doesn't help that culture has a large part to play in shaping people's views, expectations, and beliefs; all of which i like to question and push the limits of. so, it's time to make people feel uncomfortable and prod them ask themselves the hard questions. this is not out of spite but because the prejudices that i have seen are logically unfounded. no more bleating sheep, please!
