Oh How I have Changed

There was a time when....

I believed that love was the be all and end all of everything....now I know that that love goes out of the window once you get married. And what really lasts is friendship – yes even with your partner.

I fell for older men....now as I grow older I eye younger men. (Hey just because I mentioned marriage above doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten that men exist!!)

I knew my son needed me....but now it’s me who needs my son.

I thought that looking, talking and seeming to be stronger was asserting my feminist nature...now I know that nobody cares a shit about it other than myself. I want to be girly, I want to wear dresses and be a coy person (now that’s a challenge)

I thought that if you didn’t become someone by 30 you were doomed for failure....now I know that it’s all in my head.

I could never find a connection with my parents....now I can’t go a week without talking to them at least three times.

I hoped that if I tried harder I could get along with my son’s father...now I know that he is a hopeless case. He is one person who I can never get to like and I need not feel guilty about it.
