It's My Life...

Merry Christmas...
I'm spending mine here alone at work. I'm not going to complain about holiday pay though.

There's one thing that I've never understood, and that's why do people always want to change my life to make it what they think it should be?

I like my lifestyle. I work hard, and when I go out I play hard. I have made a choice to enjoy life up until the point at which I cannot physically do so. I feel it's unecessary for people to judge me by making such comments as "aren't you getting to old to be doing that?" Since when is there an age limit on having fun? I have no strings tying me down in my life. I'm not married, nor want to become married. I don't have kids running around to tend to. I don't have a boyfriend desiring of my attention... So what do these people expect me to do, sit home alone and feel sorry for myself? That's not going to happen...

I refuse to be another one of those people who look back with regret wishing that they had experienced more when they had the opportunity. I've already been there. When my friends were out at high school parties I sat at home because my boyfriend of 3 years did not approve of me going out without him. I feel there is a large chunk of my life that I have missed out on.

Now I'm not trying to make up for lost time, however, I did make a vow to never allow myself to be found in that situation again. So people can judge, they can make cruel remarks, they can call me a failure, and I will simply continue to ignore it all...
