91 Days of Bathmate: Day 2–the building of a household (NSFW)

So, I was thinking today about why I even wanted to start a YouTube channel or a Blog or a side business in general, and the answer is I want to build my own household.

Now, in modern thinking, building a household is considered to be having a family, and that can be an element to it, but it is not really the whole picture. Building a household is where a man leaves his parents, and builds his own wealth, family, associates, and home in order to create a place of strength where both bliss and wisdom can be found and provided. 

If you have ever watched Lord of the Rings, Rivendale is the household of Elrond–that is what I am aiming for: a place where people can gather for strength, bliss, and wisdom. Of course, the people I associate mostly live an alternative life-style so the household I am wanting to build will reflect that.

The element I think a lot of people miss is leaving their parents. I don’t mean ‘leave’ as in the sense of not living with them. I mean leave as in you craft a lifestyle and worldview that they very well might condemn–100% independence.

This is hard. I think all parents fear ‘losing’ their child, but you cannot let their fear control you. You must start and build something for yourself, independent of them. My blog, my YouTube, and this side business is that thing.

I don’t know exactly at what age I was when this drive hit me–33 I think–but since then, it dwells on my thoughts and calls me to action every morning. It is this drive that pushes me forward.
