Midlife Men Make Me Laugh
David R., a new friend, shared this with me. "... a little something I learned as I'm nearing 50 years old," he writes. Aaah! Perspective.
As I Mature
I've learned that you cannot make
someone love you. All you can do is
stalk them and hope they panic and give in.
I've learned that no matter how much I care,
some people are just a**holes.
I've learned that it takes years
to build up trust, and it only takes
suspicion, not proof, to destroy it.
I've learned that you shouldn't
compare yourself to others -- they are
more screwed up than you think.
I've learned that you can keep vomiting
long after you think you're finished.
I've learned that we are responsible
for what we do, unless we are celebrities.
I've learned that regardless of
how hot and steamy a relationship is at
first, the passion fades and there had better
be a lot of money to take its place!
I've learned that 99% of the time when
something isn't working in your house,
one of your kids did it.
I've learned that the people you care most
about in life are taken away from you too soon
and all the less important ones just never go away.
