A Calculated Risk

I have nothing against the bohemian lifestyle, from the safe wide lens of distance. As a matter of fact, from a distance, bohemian is synonymous with cool, chic, hipster. Bohemians seem to dance to the beat of their own drum or a drum beat only a select few can hear and comprehend. Bohemians are really free to do what they want and don’t conform to society’s rules and regs. I am almost jealous of that freedom. It’s when your very existence is leaning on the reliability and consistency of a bohemian that it becomes a real drag.
What is that saying? Its only fun until someone gets hurt.
I wish I could partake, like the bohemians, no one relying on them and their very existence. It only takes a meager effort to fend for oneself. But I don’t even feel secure procuring my own existence on a bohemian lifestyle, let alone my children. I guess I have different standards of acceptability, a standard of living that a bohemian rejects; creature comforts. Not a lavish lifestyle by any means, but certainly regular showers, newish clothes and a reliable paycheck.
No wonder I turned to a career with rules and order. The keeper of records. Order makes me feel safe, but only to a degree. Too much order makes me uncomfortable just as much as too much chaos. I need a happy medium of safely breaking rules with little chance of consequences. What do they call that? A calculated risk.
