Play

Dear Mark,
I’ve spent most of my life playing. My mother, bless her wonderful heart, was just like Miss Annabelle. She loved her children deeply and always encouraged us to explore this wonderful world and play full out.
As I reached my teen years and adulthood, I quickly realized that not everyone was so fortunate. I was resented, judged, lied about, and put down by people who hadn’t learned the value of play. I guess I was somehow threatening to them, although I never intended to be. Their put downs caused me to draw back in self-protection. Drawing back squelches creativity.
I know how to detach from other people’s cutting remarks. I know those remarks say nothing about me and a boatload about the speaker. However, the “AntiCivilization” is something we all have to deal with on occasion. Dealing with it is mentally and emotionally draining.
My question is this: Besides detaching, walking away, and not enabling this dysfunction, how do you deal with the AntiCivilization?
I have just attended my first meeting and I am still working through my heirloom packages, and I am still trying to find my Friday-night essences I love to perform as in a play but I am finding the deep need to write I have a story that keeps buzzing about in my head and feel the need to write it down, so I not sure where that it going, but should be fun to find out! I work in a specialized job, for a an eyedoctor as a technician and don’t really see how I can beoome a value-creator in this profession although I enjoy what I do to a point, but it doesn’t make me completely happy, how do make the transition from my job to my Friday-night essence while staying finacially stable, at this point in my life I live paycheck to paycheck how do I rise above this?
