After Party for Kamala's VP Pick, the American Dream, When Do We Get to Dare to Dream?

On this After Party special, I talk about the previous podcast episode, and continue my talk about regular people finding purpose and hope in this life. When is it finally a good time to stop being subjugated by the constant need for money coming in, and to start the groundwork to realizing your own goals and dreams? At the end of the day, I'm a disabled vet, and while I don't always look it, I get a lot of flack about "what I ought" to be doing with my life! (Um, mind your own effing business fella! lol )

I want to be an author, write cookbooks, be a voice artist and narrator, a podcaster, YouTuber, and activist. I want to use my skills and intellect for something other than just wasting away forever at just "some dumb job." When you look younger than you are, people make a lot of assumptions about you, and people have a lot of demands and judgements about what they think you should be doing. What they don't understand is that I've put in on this world. I worked, trained, and toiled for over thirty-five years. Nothing ever turned out quite like it promised. But instead of getting jaded or giving up, I realized I was going to have to go out and realize my life and my dreams myself, be damned the low quality thinkers and critics out there who have zero issues with mediocre jobs that exploit them. Small thinking gets you a small life, period.

I just turned in my disability paperwork today. It's an odd feeling. As a proud veteran and runner, it's hard to fathom how much "hard living" has ravaged my body and mind, and while I do alright, people aren't meant to forevermore waste away at the crippling grind of jobs that aren't taking care of you emotionally, financially, or any which way. If not at fifty, when is a good time to realize your innermost wants and needs? If not now, when is the right time to sacrifice a measly paycheck for the greater destiny of starting your own business and finding your innermost purpose and dreams?

Creative sensitive people suffer the most in this meat grinder society, especially when they keep trying but getting nowhere. I'm not failing myself and I'm not failing society, society sometimes fails us. I'm working harder than ever right now, realizing my dreams, because there's always a better way. Here, I talk about the trappings of society, the ignorance of society at large, finding yourself in a society that has written us off, and the importance of listening to your inner voice, not those critics and cynics out there. Because it's never too late to hit the reset button, and redirect our lives into a direction that makes sense for us. Anything else is just oppression.
