Having some reflections on life while I haven't been working

Sucks not having much work but relaxing myself during this time. Had the chance to go swimming a couple times a week. Visitng friends a little more often. Gathering more clothes at thrift stores. It's been good. It ain't great not having much money as I can only get out so much. I am locked at home in a small town much of the time. At the same time I have been able to heal and reflect on my life so far.

Have lived poor and struggled throughout yet at the same time have escaped the 9 to 5 grind. I have worked ridiculously for over a dozen years. It was at a construction job so in a way the lifestyle was somewhat flexible. Was able to listen to music and think at the job. That was good. Now I want to spread out the work to different areas. I would like to do some construction from time to time but also want to branch out to other fields. Make it so I'm not just relying on one source of income

From having an interesting upbringing with a schizophrenic parent I know I am more than just my job. I have something to say. Have had many intense conversations with my dad throughout the years. I want to take all the knowledge and interesting ways I see the world and express it. Express through art and articulation. I know life is the school of hard knocks. Life is also the school of anything goes martial arts.

What the world needs is a major re-distribution of wealth. The current systems must go down for that to happen. Hopefully I can add some philosophy and ideas for that to happen. No more of 4 people in the world owning the majority of the wealth in the world. I've always been about revolutionary ideas. I must keep reading books and cross pollinating my ideas. When you read that someone else has had a similar idea to yours it makes it stronger! You realise you are not alone. Sometimes I read books and think if these minds got together, they could have something great. As reader I can get a few authors to have a conversation in my mind.

Those are a few of my thoughts for the day. I'll keep reflecting so I can put the message out there!! We have enough work to barely keep going for awhile. Hopefully I can get a few sources of income so I can still have more of a flexy schedule yet still be able to afford to get out more. I will get to the day soon where I can make my art and write blogs on the go. Instead of being stuck at home. Being home bound too much hurts the inspiration a bit. I will try to get out more so when I do have home time I feel pumped and creative and not so stuck.

Thanks for reading!! Cheers
