The break from the Normal Person* to a Savants*

Across lifetimes, we tend to do the same thing over and over until we ace it. Once we become the best we can be at a certain craft, and in the Normal Person* thinking world, for women, that is being a mother and a wife, and then, a successful business woman on the side, after you do that for a lifetime or two, it will start to feel too easy. The next phase will be a rebellion and frustration; “what else is there? Is there NOTHING more to my world than diapers and running in the rat race of cookie baking and work commitments?!” She starts to break out of her seams and will start failing household chores that, to her, before this moment were her pride and joy.

The first symptom of “leveling up” is probably secret alcoholism just to bear the day to day grind of being the perfect mom. What used to feel like an amazing challenge suddenly becomes boring and predictable and entirely too challenging for the rewards one gets from it. Before, people used to compliment her about “how easy she makes things look” but now “they worry about her”. What used to be admiration turns into gossip and feeling of malicious pleasure of the failure of their former hero to live up to the incredibly  high standards they put on themselves and tried to make the others live up to, too. (By setting a standard and an example of “it’s doable!”.)

The next phase is probably picking up a new hobby or getting a divorce. Walking out of the life that they worked so hard to build. The good thing is, that they will most likely ace the part about how to make sure the kids won’t suffer from the transition (as opposed to the Normal Person* mums who simply find it all too hard and dump everything and disappear without a trace). The Maxed Out the Normal Person* transitioning to the Savants* thinking will leave everything but with a structure and a transition period, without anyone getting hurt by it – apart from possibly the highly capable husband, most likely already a Savants* or equally maxing out the Normal Person*, who will be annoyed beyond reason of her failure to meet her duties, but will be too proud to stand in her way.

(Thelma and Luise were a pair of the Normal Person* who couldn’t cope, and who got themselves into bad marriages due to poor decisions, the Normal Person* still trying to figure things out would be Desperate Housewives character Bree Van de Kamp, who is about to get there… in a couple of more lifetimes. She still struggles to cope, but she is still hell bent on trying.)
