The Age of Ageing

The cool thing about growing older is how some things that seemed important don't anymore. It could be everything from matching socks to being politically correct or just fitting in. The funny thing is that it works the other way around as well in the sense that the really, really important things stand out. The things that matters to you becomes more clear and the things that don't just fades away.

I've never been a big fan of all the pretentious hoopla around etiquette. Agreed, I've mostly complied but in all honestly tried to break the rules when possible. I understand when the etiquette makes sense, when there is a rational reason but not when it's only about showing off or showing that you are in the know.

I admire the people that have the guts to be themselves, dare to explore who the are and express it in public. Eccentricity? Yes M'am. But never to be seen only to live.
