Sometimes I find myself repressing some of my true desires in life from my friends or family. They all seem to think I’m strange or old fashioned. I guess it’s because my friends and family are all metropolitan of sorts or raised in cities. I was too but I have a different view.

This is what I desire: I want to live on a piece of land with trees and a small holding farm. Nothing big, just maybe some chickens, a HUGE garden and all kinds of fruits and veggies. I fantasize about spending warm summer afternoons canning fruit with the kids, picking herbs from the garden, showing the children how carrots are grown. I dream of sitting on a porch looking at beautiful nature and letting the breeze run though the house. I want to get AWAY from generalized society. I don’t want a fancy car, I don’t want a huge house, I don’t want the latest purse or sunglasses. I just want to get back to basics. I’m embarrassed when I go for lunch with my lady friends and they talk about what their husbands purchased for them, and all I can think about is "gosh I wouldn’t want that.." I can appreciate that they have different views, and that’s what makes life interesting, but I feel compelled to ‘fit in’ so to speak.

How do I let myself be me, and be okay with my goals and dreams even when they don’t fit into the societal goal of more accumulation and material goods = wealth, scheme of things?
I already have some land that belonged to my great grandparents when they settled here – it’s completely over grown and undeveloped, but it’s true, it’s quite difficult to establish ones self in that manner these days…isn’t if funny how we’ve made it so difficult on our selves to keep it simple?
re: "sexaliciouslatina" – I don’t understand how living closer to one’s means and closer to nature is considered unrealistic. Isn’t living beyond your means with a stuffed double car garage with a Starbucks franchised mind-set a little unrealistic? Sooner or later the blatant unsustainable illusion will collapse like a sand castle in the tide, that’s what I believe anyhow.

but one herb I found smelled exactly like ivory soap… do you know what it could of been?

thanks

also if you know anything that might help early stage glaucoma, possible retinopathy or worsening visual acuity naturally, please let me know

My mother went nearly blind the last year of her life from glaucoma and I want to try to reverse or stop the worsening.

thanks but what is Forskolin
