Normal

From a photography article in the Guardian:

I discovered they were 29-year-old twins who lived nearby in a tent, in woodland behind a friend’s trailer home. These boys had never learned how to have a “normal” life – how to organise everything, show up to a job, all the basic things.

It’s another reminder of the richness and variety of human experience. Worried about quitting an office job for something more rewarding, or downsizing to a smaller property so that you don’t need so much money? Well these guys live in the woods. And they always did.

    Read the article. Fascinating. They’re 29?! They look 19! Maybe that’s what a life lean of wage-slavery can do.
