Thinking about
I'm just thinking about last summer and my mother nagging me about what I wear. I'm way too casual for her, I guess you can call it being a tomboy. It's a stupid saying. So there I am on the beach where we live being damned for coming out in some black linen drawstring cargo pants. I'm pretty sure I topped it with some tshirt or sleeveless top with my black Birkenstocks. What the hell am I supposed to wear for my nightly walk? She's so annoying and from a completely different era. My brother's punk rock influence ruined her floral and pink dreams of me wearing dresses.
I say all of this because I have been lighter in my choices of wardrobe. Anything I buy from here to the summer is to wear in Portugal too. I love living on the beach, even if it is for 3 weeks. I used to do it all whole summer when I was a teenager. Leave me alone with my faded drawstring pants. I'm happy the way I am. I just hate getting dressed up and seeing people's reactions. OMG you look so nice. Like to insinuate that I don't look nice any other time. I get insulted by compliments. It's strange. Here comes Buddhism to teach me how to take a compliment ..
I really do love the Buddhist teachings It's not unachievable to reach that place of not giving a fuck. It's hard work to be aware all day of how you react to things. It brings up a lot. But you work through it and before you know it you are in the practice of letting shit go.
That's it.. Need some t's saying that. I know someone already did it but I can add a twist.
Back to the compliment thing. It's a product of overthinking and a monkey mind. Astrologically I am fucked because I'm an Aquarius with 4 placements. I can live inside my head my whole life. I need to add more fire to my life. Just to balance shit out.
