Title: The myth of the linear life

We’re sold a story: finish school, get a degree, land a job, climb the ladder, retire. A neat, logical sequence. But for many — perhaps most — life doesn’t unfold that way.
There are interruptions. Shifts. Tragedies. New desires. Sudden insights. And all of these disrupt the so-called linear path. But maybe that disruption is not failure — maybe it’s revelation.
The idea of the “linear life” creates shame for those who veer off course. But at Parcours Atypique, we know better. The most inspiring stories are those that break the pattern — because that’s where truth lives. Reinvention, redirection, even total collapse… often lead to clarity, purpose, and strength.
A path that loops, pauses, or restarts isn’t broken. It’s human.
Your life doesn’t need to follow a script. It needs to follow a calling.
