Reflecting on things past is not a very helpful occupation. Well not for me anyway and that I suppose is why counselling doesn't work. But it's very seductive to get caught up in a reverie of what if I hadn't got lost in the wrong leg of the trousers of time.
Yeah well that'd probably mean marriage, kids, mortgage, washing car on Sunday, respectable job with reasonable income, fat, balding and waiting for someone to have a heart attack to jump up the next rung of the corporate ladder... makes me break out in a cold sweat just to think of what I've missed out on by non-conformity...NOT!
Not, of course as you can gather, that life is exactly happy in the Schloss DarkAdaptedEye, my faithful giant rubber goth bat at my shoulder - well you try telling him to fly at waist height and see what happens - bitten necks is only the tip of that particular iceberg. But at least I have the satisfaction of being able to accept that whatever I've done I've done it for myself, not because of being a sheep and following the flock. Selfish, moi? I don't think so - I haven't asked anyone else along for the ride so how can they possibly complain that I've dragged them down to my level.
Be a leader not a follower - ignore the rules - play your own game and play to win - defy conventional wisdom - always aim to subvert...message ends
