For the longest time, I have always cared of how people see me, if they like me, and if they are talking behind my back.
As I got older, I found how people are so irrelevant. People at work, everyone outside of the home and sometimes family. I remember when my mom would come to visit I would clean from top to bottom days before she came over. All other times, I would not give a hoot.
Well, this time I am just going to leave things be this time. What, she's isn't moving in so what if she makes a remark about how we live. Believe me I don't care. If it does bother her she could stay in a hotel. Actually, she will need to because we don't have the room because we don't have a bed. We sleep on the floor.
Anyway, back to what I was talking about. I found that the older I get, I have found who I am as if I found the peace of just being me for a change. I know in the past I have thought about how I would love to have a nice wardrobe, makeup, money and a REALLY nice house. But experiencing how the economy is I found being under the radar of the poverty line prevents so much stress. I found the more you have the harder you fall. I've seen and read articles of people who lose so much they worked for and how emotionally they are attached it and it makes them so stressed out. I feel I don't ever want to be in that position. Yeah, it would be nice to have the house, money, and all the trips to Bora Bora etc, but dang to be stressed over all that is not how I want to look back in my life and be upset about it.
So, I found ways to stay in the lifestyle I want.
My philosophy, be thankful for what you have an don't ask or want more. We are all going to die one day, are we really going to have room in our caskets for all the material things we accumulated?
What needs to be preserved are the memories you leave with the living after you are gone.
So, let go to all the LV purses, the fast cars, HUGE houses and spend the time that was given to you with people who will be able to continue to share the moments in time with next generations to come.
