I used to love the concept of independence too till I learned the concept of interdependence.
Everyone is dependent on each other for things to work out.
For example, on hive, content creators like us, depends on programmers to create better features, user interface, take out bugs etc, so that we can enjoy more.
If there are not good content creators, it is just another software. It's not something unique.
The authors depends on curators, people engaging on their content to come up with better content, and write more creative topics.
I understand that no one wants to be dependent on their parents financially. And internet has enough potential and opportunities that you can work out that part in a few years.
But there are other sides too. The emotional part. The part where they get old, and don't have many friends or family members left to talk to, or to spend time with.
The only person they look up to is their kids.
I have not been on really good terms with my parents. It was mostly me though.
I am working on that part, and on my finances too.
The thing I realised a few years back is that once your financial life is stable, your relationship with parents starts getting better.
At least that happened with me😋
Good luck with your life. I hope you find everything good you are looking for😇
Ahaaa thanks a lot for this comment, I learnt something new from it and that is "Being Independent doesn't mean one is totally independent of some things" we still find ourselves depending on some things and I could relate with you and your family.
Thanks for the good wishes dear
Coming for the engagement around here and staying for the knowledge!
Ha, ha, ha. Are there any thought vampires around?
Keeps the mind's eye open for detection
With thoughts safe, goes and joins swimming into the space
Would that be like "It's generally to co operate than compete?" To your example, we content creators (well, I once was :)) seem to do better when we co operate with one another rather than just see who has the biggest reward. I'm thinking communities, here.
That way writers can support musicians and artists.
As in... instead of coming together to share a pie, let's come together and create a bigger pie for all. 😊
I was surprised about your phone being so important. I am trying to ditch the thing, to go back to the way life was before I was tethered to a device. But reading the comments, I see you are not alone.
😂 Good you saw that I'm not alone on this. But I understand what you mean though.
It's actually pretty easy. I deleted all apps. I use it for nothing but texts and calls. Now and then GPS. Just stop taking it everywhere. Liberating!
