A house, two cars, a healthy relationship ,a career, livable wage, 2.5 kids, a dog. ya know, the expectation many children were told in school.

Everything I hear on social media says this is a myth.

I'm not dead or in jail, so I'm doing alright. When I think about it, a lot of the things we were fed as kids was never the whole story, nor was it all true.

I generally don't use social media (outside of lemmy) because most of it is about trying to sell parts of your life to people that usually lacks context. It's great for sharing ideas and information though.
