Another good one Steve. Recently, I realized that as a child I was handed a complete explanation for the meaning of my existence, that spanned from eternity to eternity. It prevented me from simply appreciating that I was alive at all.

Amazingly true. Written by someone out the the "miry clay" for over 24 years .. still marveling at the challenges to get the very most and best out of life. Exit solves some issues, but genuine fulfillment of life is a far greater issue.

“What other matrix might you be in” is such an intense, uncomfortable, yet intriguing question. Definitely going through a lot of this myself. I think this question hits even harder when we realize how long we were on the other matrix, and how much it actually kind of worked for us.

Love the honest conversation with your daughter. Intellectual honesty and authenticity are a must, though they too can be uncomfortable. So many hard-fought gifts we can try to

pass on to the next generation.

Great post. So relatable!
