unapologetic

You know those little old ladies who are just so darn cute and they have their own kind of style that, though they may seem a little crazy to others, they carry it off with a confidence that makes them so endearing? They always seem to be having the time of their lives and don't care who knows it. And you think to yourself, "I hope I'm like that when I'm their age!" Well, the problem with that is that's probably gonna be another 40 years away. What's wrong with moving it up to now? Why wait?

I know, you're thinking "What will people think? That may work for little old ladies, but it wouldn't work for me." Well, I'm thinking I don't care what people think. I'm thinking I don't want to wait another 40 years before I can really be myself and be comfortable doing it (being myself, that is) and having fun. The past few years I've been practicing a bit and I think I've kind of got a handle on the whole comfortable-in-my-own-skin thing and I'm kind of likin' it.

Now I'm not talking about moving to Crabby Road and taking up golf with Maxine, but you have to admit everybody loves, admires, and respects her because she doesn't apologize for being herself (even if she is a cartoon)! And I don't know why we have to wait until we're stooped over and white headed to get away with being ourselves. So I'm not waiting.


Here's to me! Bring on the fun!!
