Reflections from a nearly 30 year old....

Things that I have learned thus far...

People say you are more like your parents than you realize. And you try so hard to be you and not them. Despite what you try and so many people saying that you are just like them... I have now realized that I am like that. I'm 28. Yep. It took this long but a part of me is still in denial. We will see how long it will be that it lasts.

The old movies that you have heard about are truly worth watching. Despite the terrible quality and strange culture relationship roles.. even if you hate it, they are a great conversation piece. I have watched the original "Miracle on 34th Street", "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "White Christmas", "How to Marry a Millionaire", just a few titles as of late. Right now I am watching "Charade". Another fox dumb blonde shennanigan. Still.... interesting that the men would send the women off with the children in the summer. I would like to know who started that, why, and then, why did it go away? Sounds great... unless you have kids lol but either way.

So many people, like Marilyn Monroe, have become idolized. But why? I haven't actually seen any movies about her. "How to Marry a Millionaire" shows her in the "dumb blonde" role. What is to idolize about that, but that enticed me to find out more and therefore, I now know that she tried to get out of those roles  but felt trapped with Fox... and how troubled she really was.... a much different life that I could ever imagine. And so dreamy and lonely I'm sure.

Old habits really do die hard. I am in the mist of killing the last of a terribly bad habit and I won't comment on what just now but do know that a temporary relapse of a negative behavior is bound to occur but don't let it own you.

I don't understand my father and he doesn't understand me. But I love him dearly.

I feel like a little puppy trying to be apart of my sister's life. Oddly I feel like the little sister trying to get her attention. It's strange. Maybe it's just the age and she will come around :) I hope....

I won't comment on my mother. She will always be beautiful to me and one day I will figure our relationships out. Maybe. ;)

Four dogs is too many. But I have them now. lol. And I love them. I think they keep me grounded. Which, I would say is the downside. 

A different area of the down side, you can work hard but that doesn't mean you are going to be successful one day. Just means you work hard.

On the up side, I guess you always think that you are working towards a goal... right?

Leaving a light on really doesn't burn that much electricity... ie add to your bill. It's all in the heat and air.

I don't really like coffee. I never have. It has to be made just perfectly. I'm not good at even making my own coffee perfectly so the majority of my cups of coffee are just gross. I don't know how people love this stuff. And yet, why do I still drink it? Maybe its the socialization. Conditioning. Or maybe, it's for that one perfect cup out of all the shitty ones that just keeps me coming back for more.
