Some fun to be had for sure for sure |

| I definitely feel that to be true to who you really are is tough in the world we have created today. This one makes me ponder, it has me sitting here thinking, would it be the greatest accomplishment. I'm not sure, but I do believe it would be one hell of a one. I guess as I get older I do very much care less about what people think of me and I would say the majority of the time I am myself and not what others expect, think or want me to be. I'm certainly glad I grew up when I did and not in today's times. The kids have it so much harder, or do they? Seems to me that a lot of kids out there don't care who they are and act accordingly, which is not great, I'm not saying it's a good thing, they simply don't care. If they don't want to go to school, they don't. If they don't want to show manners to everyday people, they don't. Is this who they really are? Seems to me it is. When I was growing up, as were my friends, we had expectations placed on us like manners, trying hard at school, just to name a few. But these days that all seems to have gone out the window and the kids are exactly as they want to be. I know that I am more myself now than I have ever been. I'm not saying that when I'm at work or sometimes in a social setting I don't revert back to a version of me that is tempered by expectation, especially around people I have known for a very long time, who knew or know an older version of me. I feel sometimes like if I'm not the person they remember they may no longer like me, but honestly now, who cares? So I do think that if you can be yourself completely and not conform to everything else around you then it is an accomplishment, and very good one. Is it going to be my greatest accomplishment, maybe, maybe not. Only time will tell. |
