I must say, I am what I am. Some people like me, others do not. Needless to say, I gravitate towards the people who accept and appreciate me for who I am and for what I represent, which for now, is happiness and confidence.
I don't waste my time anymore trying to get someone to like me by changing myself into the person I believe they want me to be.
It took me a long time, but I have finally become comfortable with me just the way I am. And by portraying that confidence I have met a whole new batch of people that make me laugh and help me enjoy life much more. I, too, am friends with people, both male and female, from all age groups.
Life is too short to worry about making the 'right' impression or behaving in a way some people think a 50 year old woman should behave. You should do and be whatever you are comfortable with and whatever makes you happy.
I am way past becoming embarrassed and my family is way past expecting the 'norm' from me! If I acted 'normal' I don't think they would recognize me!
Embrace life! No matter what your age. Be with people that make you smile.
I firmly believe it is never too late to experience things that you have always wanted to experience. Whether it's buying that little red sports car, or dating a man 20 years or more younger than you! If that's what you want, then, by god, go for it!!!!
"We must become the change we want to see."
