I have seen more slut shamming this past week than I’d like to admit. Words cannot express how angry that makes me. I tried to write it out yesterday but it was all just jumbled words and thoughts that didn’t really make sense. I often wonder how different things would be if it were men who were shamed for their desire to have sex. Not that I’d wish that on anyone. And then I saw this…
It’s odd how something so simple can make everything come into focus. I think everyone has been told at least once to not worry about what other people think. It’s easier said than done. But sometimes, we really do need to take that simple piece of advice and run as fast as we can with it. There are millions of opinions floating around and not very many of them actually matter…at least when it comes to your life. You are in control of your life. Enjoy it as much as you can.
“When life gives you lemons just say f%#$ the lemons and bail.”
As always, thanks for reading!

Probably not a day goes by that I don’t remind myself that opinions are like a**holes, everybody has one. I, personally, have spent far too much time listening to their words instead of feeling my own, so now I try to close my ears to that chatter, open my eyes and focus on what I see in front of me.

I have lived for 50 years and am more accepting of myself, both body and psyche, than ever before. I have decided not to dye my hair and accept my wrinkles as part of my years of living. I wouldn’t change anything.

That’s great! I really hope when I get older that I’ll still have that same attitude toward life!
