Are You a Misfit?

You ever notice how most people around you don't think like you?

They're fine watching TV. You can't sit still.
They can leave work at the office. You can't turn it off.
They're content. You're restless.

That's not a flaw. That's a sign.

You are a misfit.

I had a friend named Kent. We went to the same college.
He was steady and reliable. Professors loved him.
He's worked at the same company since he was fifteen.

The world needs people like Kent, the ones who keep the lights on and the trains running on time.

But I was the opposite.

Fired from job after job.
Never fit inside the boxes everyone else seemed to accept.
Always wanting more freedom, more control, more room to breathe.

I never enjoyed having a boss or pretending to care about meetings that drained the life out of me.

I wanted that feeling I had as a kid on the last day of school, when the bell rang and summer began.
That was real freedom.

Nothing was wrong with me.
I was just built different.
God had a different plan.

Maybe you feel that way too.

You did everything right. You went to school, got the job, provided for your family.
But deep down, you know something's missing.

You smile on Monday morning, but it's a mask.
A role you're tired of playing.

You love your family more than anything, but you're tired of watching your kids grow up one missed moment at a time.

It's not that you don't care.
It's that you care too much about freedom, purpose, and having a life that's actually yours.

You're not lazy.
You're not broken.
You're a misfit, someone who craves meaning, creativity, and independence.

The world needs its Kents.
But it also needs misfits like you.

If that sounds like you, keep reading. You're in the right place.
