00:00:01.258 --> 00:00:05.425
let's looking in on america's perfect family

00:00:05.425 --> 00:00:09.808
The Johngers I just look at their amazing life

00:00:09.808 --> 00:00:12.920
safe secure jobs, social respect

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:15.912
and admiration?, a growing family, ???

00:00:15.912 --> 00:00:20.925
humanal cars and a good made kitchen

00:00:20.925 --> 00:00:25.076
yes the Johngers are living proof that if we are willing

00:00:25.076 --> 00:00:28.195
to follow the same trusted paths

00:00:28.195 --> 00:00:31.790
what?! how do we ever by end to that myth

00:00:31.790 --> 00:00:34.132
since we have been young we have

00:00:34.132 --> 00:00:37.028
been indacturated to follow a prescribe formuler

00:00:37.028 --> 00:00:38.257
have to get degree

00:00:38.257 --> 00:00:39.541
to get the best job that you can

00:00:39.541 --> 00:00:40.756
the white picked fans

00:00:40.756 --> 00:00:41.889
the big screen tv

00:00:41.889 --> 00:00:42.876
2.5 kids

00:00:42.876 --> 00:00:45.436
the bape, the boat, the box, the job, the 6 figures

00:00:45.436 --> 00:00:49.940
work for 40-50 years and then retire

00:00:49.940 --> 00:00:52.668
I did all of the things that were expected of me

00:00:52.668 --> 00:00:56.632
that the expends my dreams

00:00:56.632 --> 00:00:58.139
every monday i would walk on the beach

00:00:58.139 --> 00:00:59.309
and put my ipod in

00:00:59.309 --> 00:01:02.140
and just wonder what was wrong with me

00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:04.554
I got it like I look up at the beach

00:01:04.554 --> 00:01:08.202
i have a great job, all this money, I'm so lucky right now

00:01:08.202 --> 00:01:10.675
and yet I'm freaking miserable

00:01:10.675 --> 00:01:12.791
and i was on a run 3 to 4 days a week

00:01:12.791 --> 00:01:16.719
and i just remember thinking I didn't sign up to be a single parent

00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:21.258
every single day i would come home and i would tell about --- like

00:01:21.258 --> 00:01:25.957
I cannot do this anymore, I cannot do this, I can't do this anymore

00:01:25.957 --> 00:01:29.208
you climb the ladder and you get to the top and realise you haven't

00:01:29.208 --> 00:01:30.826
against the wrong wall

00:01:30.826 --> 00:01:32.857
i didn't even know what the right wall was

00:01:32.857 --> 00:01:39.801
and I'm 32 and I feel like that I should have that figured out

00:01:39.801 --> 00:01:44.659
people do this kind of quiet desperation they wish things were different

00:01:44.659 --> 00:01:49.320
they need life to shake them and they wake the <b>*</b> up

00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:51.558
this is not the way you have got to live

00:01:51.558 --> 00:02:02.343
there is something better out there

00:02:02.343 --> 00:02:06.155
it's only when you start making choices for yourself

00:02:06.155 --> 00:02:08.987
that you have been lived your own dream

00:02:08.987 --> 00:02:16.369
instead of the american dream

00:02:16.369 --> 00:02:24.707
I ---- but I would not know what it would be like if this happenned

00:02:24.707 --> 00:02:34.290
i don't know what's around the corner for me

00:02:34.290 --> 99:59:59.999
i have never been ?? and not knowing
