The question in the title of this post? Oh, it's just what a relative recently told me. Apparently, the secret of a good life is to do what my neighbours do.
Yeah...
Right.
I could read this as a "we want you to be happy (or happier than you already are)", but in fact, it all boils down to success and money.
Yesterday, I was treated to a lecture that was meant to bully me into doing what "that wonderful neighbour's doing to improve its life" because I "clearly need more money".
I'm not equipped to understand that need for greed, and I'm not equipped to care about what people I barely know do with their lives. If they're happy, good for them, but I'm me, myself, and I, and I don't want to copy a stranger in the faint hope to please DNA-related sharks.
My mistakes are mine, and my triumphs are mine, too.
It's days like this I'd like to head back home to Mars. I'm sure Curiosity and the other rovers are cool company...

why follow, go your own way and be!
someone called me normal, I have never been so insulted! :-)
sad when those who share DNA seem to think they have a say in your life! family is those you chose to love not those who share DNA! :-(
you keep on your fab martian ways, we love you that way.
Oh, my! I'd like the silly bunny who called you that to actually define 'normal' (just to see its head explode, you know ^_~).
Thanks, Dearest! I've got a close friend who keeps telling me that I'm "weird". The day this grates too much on my nerves, I'll mention that thing about a pot and a kettle.
This lil' Martian leopard's spots are imprinted in her DNA, and I am the way I am.
I know they probably all mean well, but I never asked them to lecture me on the proper way to live. *sigh* What strange Earthlings!
