Do you remember the days when the quintessential American lifestyle was having a loving family, a solid job, a doting wife, and a nice house with a white picket fence? It used to be many a person's dream. Now, that vision has become out dated. The new scenario involves a new set of ideals for a new time.
Picture this: riding a bike to a coffee shop with a messenger bag swinging at your side. Having a fancy but healthy artisan drink at your side while you write in a blog with spiritual ramblings.You act like you are "just another person in this thing called life". There is even a slight hippie like quality about it.
Most yuppies of our time have imagined that their life could be like this. However, this is a dream that cannot come true for many. We have money to make. Technology to depend on. We get swept up in hectic lives. But we still long for carefree cafe livin'.
Well put.
