The Feral Millennial

It started with a thought - a quick almost meaningless thought as I stared up into the sky. My helmet was blocking the sun beaming down on the sand around me but managed to leave enough sunlight hitting my eyes to give me this moment of clarity as I looked into the clouds. This. Is. It.
You see, I'd just crashed my dirtbike. Again. And as I tried to untangle my legs from the bike, the thought creeped in - "Am I too old for this shit?" AND THAT'S WHEN IT HIT ME. Am I too OLD FOR THIS SHIT?! You've got to be fucking kidding me! It ain't happening. Period. I've listened to enough Mel Robbins podcasts to know that this was an intrusive thought - a ridiculously limiting belief - and I REJECTED that shit.
Now, I wish I could say I just manifested a super easy bike mount and rode off into the distance but I'd be lying. However, what I DID do was pick up my damn bike - wiped the sand from my teeth, literally - had a little come to Jesus with my bike, "Big Red" - and got my ass out of the damn sandpit I managed to find myself in.
This day I chose badassery. I chose Millennial Mayhem. I chose myself because I'm feral.
Am I still seeing new rainbow-colored bruises spawning in on my legs? Hell yeah I am. Am I slathering a holistic bruise gel over them? Umm, yeah...and essential oils too! Am I super proud that they only motivate me to continue in this millennial mayhem I call life - you bet your sweet ass!
So that's it my friends. That is what a Feral Millennial woman is - an "adult" that has decided that no amount of perimenopause, strange new back aches, or crow's feet can stop her. She's DONE with bullshit and wants off of this insane roller coaster of perfection. She's done believing what the world has told her she has to do or needs to be. She wants out of the captivity that this current reality has become. She wants wild. She wants adventure. She wants a little bit of mayhem, but most of all - she wants peace with herself.
