My daughter messaged me today saying she was at a theme park - she's not a roller coaster kinda gal...but was forced into it and had quite a good day - felt yuck on some rides, but good on others.
It's a bit like life really - that's such a cheesy line to lead into my post! Ha! But it is.
I'm very glad she is stepping out of her comfort zone and trying new things in a new country with new people. It's her living life and I'm so happy for her and also for me watching her life unfold.
I'm trying to write a children's picture book at the moment. I'm loving it - and it's so different to writing a song. I think I want to put too much in it. Too much information. Simple is good. Less is more.
But back on track a bit..... life IS a roller coaster - sometimes you're out of control and it's just carrying on regardless. It's up and down. It's round and round. It's even upside down!
I find, when things aren't quite going to plan or I'm not feeling 100% in whatever respect, it's good to put myself in someone else's shoes. Then I realise wouldn't want to be anyone else. No one should want to be someone else.
When I was a teenager, I often wanted to be someone else - well, there were a couple of girls I really wanted to be. One had really funky hair and wore really cool funky clothes (like fingerless gloves and layers....lots of layers)
OH, wait a minute - I have always wanted to be my lawyer!! She's so on to it and clever and sensible. She wears her clothes just right and always looks great. I think what I really wish is that I was a bit more LIKE her....you know, sensible and on to it and a bit more stylish...and richer...hahaha!
Funny post, but there you have it. It's tea time.
