Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

As I start this blog post over because my pen exploded all over my face and hands, yes, I am a mess..... Here is something I've struggled with my entire life. As Ive lived an older womans life; buying a house and getting married young, starting two businesses young, and volunteering so much. I've always experienced life as a young person reaching, proving, and showing the I belong in a world most people my age don't. I've always handled proving myself to older, more educated, wealthier people. Although life gets easier, not sure if it's because I know what I need to get approval or because I'm aging (hopefully gracefully?) One of my 99 things to do before turning 30- fly first class. (I'm looking for the list in my previous blog- but I did find my travel list, see it posted Four of the Seven, posted in Feb of 2012). So here I am. Sitting in seat 1B on United Airways flight 588. What happens when you enter a world you're unfamiliar with? You find you love it. Or hate it. First, I know I'll never, unless given free seats, fly anything other than economy. I don't need extra attention or larger seats. I don't need to board first. Or get off the plane first. I don't need to be catered to. Heres what else I don't need: pretentious people. Those who no longer take what they're give with a moments appreciation. You know I can take a deep breathabdi can say, yes, this is something like my iPhone, I don't need it, but could get used to it. Unlike my iPhone, I don't think it's me. I'm a normal girl. I'm not an average kind of person. I can afford things I don't need. But I'm down to earth and giving. I use what I want, give the rest away. I'm not selfish or ungrateful. I give a lot back to this universe. I have so much to give. I'm so very very happy to give what I can. Almost 30! One year to go!!!!!!!! I'd better get this list marked off,,,,, Ps- happy early birthday to me! Thank you Coach for a beautiful watch!!! Xoxox
