Relationships …For Instance.
What..Me Conform??
Conformity.
The above word is akin to a curse/cuss/swear word. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And it makes my skin crawl. My brain screams NOOO!!!!!!!! And then I run into the night never to be seen again. (okay so that was a little dramatic, but you get my point. I hope)
Yes all of that because of one word.
I don’t conform … much. I can’t conform to certain rules and still retain a sense of my self.
The biggest thing I don’t conform to is what I’m supposed to do or be, according to society.
Relationships for instance.
Society says that I’m supposed to find One special person and fall in love and then get married and be with that One person forever.
Blech!
I don’t buy into that particular fable/fairytale. I can’t. Not gonna happen. And as far
I suppose if that’s what you really desire in a relationship then go for it but don’t impose that idea(l) onto everyone else around you. Happiness has many different definitions or paths.
I think that if society at large would relax it’s strangle hold on what defines relationships, then more people would find their happy places and live better, happier, more balanced lives.
Cannot Roll Over
It’s not in my genetic coding to just roll over and let other people tell me how to live my life. My motto is: If you’re not bringing harm to yourself or to others then the what the frog is the issue?
Seriously people. Let go of preconceived notions about what should be and just relax in the flow of what is. I know it’s a difficult thing to adhere to, but you may want to try it could be a good thing.
Hmmm I wonder if that sounded like I was trying to get you to conform to my way of thinking, because I’m not. i’m just spewing my thoughts on the page again.
What are your thoughts about happiness?
Find happiness today (if you choose).
40 is the ‘new’ 30?!? I don’t get it.
I’m in my forties now (43 to be exact) and I feel I have a better grasp of life than I did in my thirties. And the decade of 30 something choices, decisions, and life in general was better than my twenties. My twenties were way over the top better than my teens and so on.
I’ve been hearing (for quite a while actually) that 40 is the new 30. And really I ask a resounding WHY?
I mean ….Why can’t we (especially women) accept and love the age we are in at the moment? Why is youth so revered? Or is it just looking younger that our society has an obsession with? An unhealthy obsession by the way. (can obsessions be considered healthy?)
Anyway….
I’ve never been concerned with getting older or looking older. I do admit I color my hair but I’ve been doing that for a couple of decades off and on, merely for a change of hair color. Dyeing my hair is akin to wearing jewelry or makeup – for me.
I think it’s funny when people have said to me that I don’t act my age. It makes me think about what a forty something person is supposed to act like. I suppose by the dictates of society I should’ve gotten married, have a house and a few kids by now.
That’s the topic for another post.
Back to the whole 40 thing….
I’m not sure what I’m supposed to act like, look like, and be like…except myself. I think that 40 is 40, 30 is 30, 50 is 50 and so on. One age cannot be a new different age at least not according to me anyway.
Maybeeee……
40 is the new 30 because there are people out there who do not give in to the age stereotypes? That could be it.
What about you? Do you act your age? Are you concerned with aging?
I have not been hiding…
Really I haven’t been in hiding, hibernation, or ignoring the blog this week. I was dealing with a family emergency that took up all of my time. Things are a little bit settled and I should be on a better blog schedule next week. Not sure what I’m going to post yet and it most likely will not be everyday.
Thanks to all who do read the oddities, poetry, and other such things that I do post.
Have a great weekend.
May Rose
April showers did indeed bring May flowers. Hmmmm that sounds like a story prompt to me. :)
