You must be still in your thirties she said because you still care what people think about you and I bet you get your knickers in a knot that people may not like you or your opinions.
It was my gynecologist and I nodded as she took her head out from between my knees. My gyno is the most awesome woman in the world. Seriously. Coolest woman ever apart from my friend Ms R.
Yeah I said kind of.
You know the trick to that she said?
What I propped myself up on my elbows, closed my knees and tried to recreate some decorum.
Well she said once you realise whats important to YOU she said emphasising it with the schlick of the gloves coming off then everyone elses opinions thoughts ideals be what they may of you or what you think they may be will fall by the way side.
I do know whats important to me I said.
Perhaps she said not really believing me but the minute you know whats important to you being ‘selfish’ suddenly becomes all right. Knowing what you stand for, believing in yourself knowing your opinons and whats important to you will change your world.
And it’s either that or the fact that I’m nudging closer to {hyperventilating} 40 but she is right.
What do you think?
Is that key to not caring what people think?
Do you have another tip?
