I think we all have that feeling that we were born into the wrong age.
Some of us feel we should have been born further in time...that things have not reached where they should have been by now.
Others feel that nostalgia with the past...maybe thanks to stories from our parents or our grandparents.
And others feel yet that link to the past thru literature.
As popular as it is now to want to be part of the past...of the 60's, 50's, 40's and even the depression era. I feel like I should've fallen even further back.
Further still from my grandparents.
I really do wish I was apart of the victorian age.
Maybe I should've been born into a small town and a big city. Somewhere around the turn of the century, when the idea of a phone was still just that...a thought.
I don't want to be tied down, I do want my freedom. But I have to admit there is a side of me thats rather domestic.
I try to hide it with a very assertive nature. But I can't help but get a satisfaction out of sewing, cutting hair, cooking dinner, and feeling accomplished in this.
I think it's just my mom talking in my head. Saying "If you can sewing clothes, make dinner out of nothing, and cut hair. Then all you need is somebody who can build a house and keep the car running....and you can have anything". I don't think she meant anything as in "settle down, sell yourself short and start having babies" type though. But that, if you don't need to reply on anyone else, you'll have more resources to get what you want and need out of life.
I don't know what all this means. It's just been tossing around in my head.
