I was never a normie in that regard.

My dream was to work hard, earn enough money to buy a small piece of land to grow my own food, and produce my own energy. To live simply in a van, caravan, even a small cabin.

I love fixing up old things, including cars and buildings, for money since the age of 14.

I almost made the dream by age 36.

Then I met my soulmate, and things started to get much more complicated.

Pretty based that you realized what matters in life so early

I realized it a bit late but still adapted, made a clear decision, plan and goal and now working towards those goals to become a sovereign individual

Having my own outdoor space was always a priority. As a child I loved hiking, camping, bushcraft, being close to nature.

The only thing I didn't realize is how important having kids is. That didn't click until my 30s, which I why my life took a sudden new direction with a new partner. Talk about mid-life crisis. 😅

Can understand that! I’m not yet there with kids but I can imagine that it’s the most fulfilling thing in life

I think many of us get distracted and dissuaded from having kids. Like many difficult decisions in life, it never seems like the right time.

I was lucky that I didn't decide to have a child, it happened when I least expected it, when I didn't feel ready for it. But it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened in my life.

Obviously I can't speak for your situation.

Just my 2 sats.

Enjoy being a newly wed first. 🫂

Thank you so much! Appreciate it
