Entrepreneurs

I think there is something to be said for those of us who can get a job, keep it, and properly retire.

There is also something to be said for "following your heart", for trying new things and/or for continuing to grow.

This generation, perhaps more than those passed, has admittedly strayed from the life that was expected of them. Our parents, grandparents and even generations prior have certainly added their own twists to the "way through life"; limes on the rim of a gin and tonic. But this generation created its own cocktail and decided a cherry was the proper garnish. (Really ...mixing things up... if you will.) Our hobbies have become our livelihood. The thing you used to love to do, gather throughout the year and scissor-hold to the annual craft fair (for pennies) has now become your main source of income. You used to have to remember to make time for it after work. Now you have to remember to stop and eat (no one should hustle 24/7).

Of course, it's not all excitement, blazing your own trail, being a twenty-something entrepreneur. There are plenty of us who are simply not cut out for that life. Who are better off working for someone else. And, naturally, there are only so many services one can offer; so many "boss babes" the world can take before it realizes it's missing something:

the consumer.

We can't all be supervisors, can we? For in a world of only kings, who is left to monarch? I think it is really fantastic that this generation has had some major opportunities to well-combat the ones kept by those before them. And if we do not deal in extremes, we will all not only prevail, but supersede. I just know how things typically go when money is involved.* At least in America. I will not theoretically doom Canada or Europe to the same fate (as I have not experienced those places first-hand). And, I suppose, at the end of the day, there is simply no use worrying about things one cannot change. It's just something that's been on my mind. Just Thinking.
