[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The weird part is just life in general.

There is always a orderly plan for life with important goals and strong motivators from elementary school until children graduate college.

Then there’s this weird void with less important and ambiguous goals of your choosing. Nobody really talks much about it or plans for it. It’s just an odd period. Especially after your parents die… you are next to go over the edge of the conveyer belt , lol. Clinging to high volume involvement in your kids busy lives is actually kind of insecure and selfish. There are actually some really important things you can do with church involvement, aiding a hospice etc… but there is no set blueprint like life before.[/quote]

Strong goals and blueprint from when a person is in elementary school until that persons children graduate college. To be clear. Then wtf am I supposed to do?  Crickets in the blueprint area. It’s a weird, somewhat exciting, somewhat sad period. All of those plans, goals and blueprints were almost a distraction from reality that you entered the world by yourself and you will leave it by yourself. But now you either face it or figure out some other more ambiguous distraction.[/quote]
