(no subject)
So as I sit here at work, with 2008 coming to an end. I feel a bit nostalgic and a bit depressed.
The end of a year and the beginning of a new one is supposed to leave one feeling refreshed. And anxious to start a new beginning. But me, and us overall as woman have to wonder if things will ever change.
We nit pick at every little thing life throws at us, the good the bad. Will he ever call me? Will he ever change? Will we get the house this year, the promotion, will we finally be financially set to start our family? And maybe the big question is, was it ever worth it to sweat the small stuff?
It's in our dna, genetics, passed down from generation to generation of woman. And we never seem to really learn. Humans have evolved so much and yet we find ourselves sitting by the phone night after night waiting for a call, that lets be real here, if it hasn't come yet, never will.
Across the world, woman vow to better themselves and let go of the past on January 1st. To diet and lose weight. Quit smoking. But reality is harsh. Woman carry more baggage then the red eye. And no matter how hard we try, it's never going to be a lighter load. We keep fighting for something that can't be achieved.
Maybe woman just don't get it? Who knows. I know that men seem to be much better at letting go. Not all but most of them are able to sever ties with any emotional baggage from previous relationships. It's almost like the term "check your bags at the door" is embedded into their brains.
And I must admit, even if it's betrayal to my fellow sex I admire that about them. Life would be so much more simplistic and we would spend less time picking and more time enjoying life. No wonder woman age so much faster then men. We worry ourselves into an early grave.
So. This year I vow to quit smoking, and my major plans are to throw myself into my work and try to be more like a man. If I keep busy there won't be time to let depression sink in. And i'll be a better person.
I'm a woman. And i'm one that doesn't need man to be happy.
2008. As lovely as you were, it's time to get up out of here.
