I've always been a bit of an oddball. I grew up in the suburbs, with two parents who were both a bit too eccentric for their own good. My mom was a hippie artist who thought it was perfectly normal to wear flowers in her hair and paint on her feet, while my dad was a software engineer who loved nothing more than building elaborate Rube Goldberg machines in our garage.
As you might expect, this kind of upbringing left me with a bit of an identity crisis. I mean, how do you reconcile the desire to be artistic and free-spirited with the need for structure and order? But it's funny - despite all the weirdness that went on at home, my parents actually did a pretty great job of teaching me about empathy and compassion. They showed me that everyone has their own unique quirks and challenges, and that those are things to be celebrated.
So I've always tried to approach life with a bit of an open mind and a willingness to take risks. Whether it's trying out a new hobby or taking on a new challenge at work, I try to see the world as a place full of possibilities rather than obstacles. And hey - if all else fails, I can always count on my trusty Rube Goldberg machines to save the day! Just kidding... kinda. |
