Loving who i am
Dear Diary,
I am begining to see the benefits of being comfortable in my own skin. Its been a long time coming but i’ve realsied that for so long i’ve lived my life for other people.
First it was for my parents, then my husband, then i lived for my job and conformed to all of these things and it has made some of these people happy but it certainly hasnt made me happy.
I have tried to conform to what is socially acceptable and it has worked but it has done nothing for me as a person. I’ve been told that there is a certain way that a woman my age should act and some of it is just not me.
Some sections of society even expect it of me not to date a man who has no child because i happen to have a 14 year old son. As for dating a younger man, heaven forbid. This is the biggest crime a woman in my circumstances can do.
If i were to start dating a younger man, people would think that he is in it for the material comforts that i can provide. But then what happens if i genuinely find myself in love with a younger man?
