Coming of age
in the 80’s I began to listen to the radio, watch a little MTV and fell in love
with entertainers. I have now watched them rise , fall, evolve, grow and
change.
Some's fame has turned to...
It has been a
long time since I have found anyone to look up to. There is no one I want my
life to be like. There are a few people who’s lives I could think about taking
over but only so I could run them my way.
That is to say
we do not do things because we see them done. We do them because something about
what we see resonates with something already inside of us. I find this to be
largely true at least in my life. Inner strength is what captures and resonates.
I remember
growing up it was thought the wrong friends, idols or associations would take
me down a wrong path. Now I am not down playing the truths about association or
being in the wrong place at just the time that something horrible goes down.
Still I am not
one to be easily influenced. I have my own mind. It is bold and inquisitive. I
always do pretty much exactly what I want to do. I have no problem saying what
I think needs to be said.
Maybe there
are not many others like me but we humans are certainly not all alike. Every
time I hear what the masses are doing I can only shake my head and happily
realize my uniqueness remains.
Facebook
bought Instagram. I could care less. I tolerate Facebook and only have a Flickr
account due to my Ravelry. We live in a digital age but I am almost old enough to
remember the telegram.
I have never played Angry Birds, bought anything Apple or off Ebay.
I have been and of course will always be in some ways naïve.
The world is too vast for any of us to ever really know all of it. Never the
less I am not gullible and cannot be easily manipulated.
Yesterday morning’s
daughter spat is a perfect example. She started ranting and raving. I shut it
down. She stormed off.
Time passed and she did, without help from me, exactly what
she was complaining she could not do without my help.
