It's strange that we never really design any parts of our lives. Like we basically live on autopilot for 18-30 years, then look at all the things we've somehow accumulated, stuff, responsibilities, relationships and then try to move it around a bit, add a bit of fun between them. And at that point so many large things have been fixed, our ability to actually craft out the life we wanted is impossible and we'd never dared ask before what was important to us. Many assume we want to live in a house, that it should have a garden, that we should own it. Many assume we should have a single job, that's full time, that slowly pays more, that we do till the age of 60+, Many assume they want kids. And before we know it we've mortgages, commutes, fixed costs, fixed parameters. It's then pretty hard to alter things. Quite a lot of people plan their homes interiors, a lot of people plan their businesses, a lot of people plan holidays or gardens, but seems like very few people plan or design their lives. We just shuffle around things we assumed awe wanted an aggregated, often against ideas and societal expectations that come from an era of scarcity and vulnerability and bodies that wore out and education being scarce etc. Just an observation, it's not like I've done it. …see more
