I’m taking a page from millennials

As younger Gen X, I relate to millennials in some way. They purportedly value experience over belongings. I get that. As a corporate salaried worker, I see the long term value of this mindset. We only have today and can only enjoy today so traveling is vital. I’m traveling alone in a week and IContinue reading “I’m taking a page from millennials”

Light from the dark

I’m successful at 51. Much more successful than I ever thought I’d be. Statistics say, women who were sexually abused as children, like I was, are destroyed by depression or addiction. In the process they link their trajectory with their sex appeal. I’m not destroyed. But, I did spend my 20’s thinking my worth wasContinue reading “Light from the dark”

We thought we’d live till 10

My twin brother and I, on the night before our 5th birthday, snuggled together. As we did on Christmas Eve. We fought with each other daily but actually loved each other and were there for each other. We had it in our minds, that age 10 was the oldest you could be. We could countContinue reading “We thought we’d live till 10”

What I’ve learned on my dad’s deathbed

The Male Female divide

The other day, I was on the subway and I saw these two young men talking to one young female. The two young men were doing everything they could to convince her to “hang out”. They were so respectful and kind to her. It took 4 stops to establish that they all would “hang” laterContinue reading “The Male Female divide”

The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth

I’ve always been fascinated by this statement. Wars are fought by the bold. Many people die in defense of the bold. Many people celebrate the bold. Large amounts of people are killed as a result. “The meek” I always thought that meant “weak”. “Feeble” Not capable of anything. I don’t consider myself in the sameContinue reading “The Meek Shall Inherit The Earth”

I’m in my crone era “don’t give a shit?”

I guess that means I’m a woman 50 or over. I’m experienced, been through some shit. Made it through but still experiencing shit. Work interpersonal shit. Having to react to other people’s interpersonal shit. Other people’s interpersonal shit being a thing. My own interpersonal shit there too. Juggling all that interpersonal shit whilst trying toContinue reading “I’m in my crone era “don’t give a shit?””

Harry the cat. Party of one.

Hello there! I’m Harry. I live with 2 humans. I used to have Samantha, another cat but she hasn’t been around for a long time. I don’t often listen to human language but sometimes bits and pieces get in. I’m pretty sure she died. It’s okay because my preferred human, is giving me all theContinue reading “Harry the cat.
