Creating One's Self

I was speaking with a college gal the other day and some of the issues we were discussing made me have some serious hot flashes-menopause type. I guess even the thought of those dark years makes me get as sweaty as a poptart on a hot day. I'll tell you one thing, I'd never wish to be an early twenty something again. Those are the years when sweet memories of your childhood begin to fade and you endeavor on your journey into discovering what type of adult you are going to be. So, where am I going with all of this? .........
Create yourself. Take the time to do it. None of that finding yourself nonsense. Create! You cannot find what hasn't yet been created. I ran into a girl the other day who is in her mid to late twenties with the personality of a doorknob. Ever see Children of the Corn? -glassy eyed.....plastic smile......conversates about a boil her aunt Mavis had on her cankle last summer........

I'm just saying, if you don't go looking for who you want to be, you are never going to be anything special. Just another boring, brown spud in the wheel barrow of life.

How to Create a Fabulous Personality:

Watch some girls you admire in a social setting. (try not to look like a stalker). Steal from them. If you like the way Lucy Blondie says "hello" to her friends with a tinkling of her fingertips-start tinkling sweetheart. If you admire the way someone does something-then adapt it into your own personality. Don't copycat-make it your own.

Secondly; get interested to be interesting. Learn. If you don't know *hit, you are going to attract people of the same caliber. Research things that you've always wanted to know about. I can tell you anything you want to know about European History-monarchs are my specialty. Sounds boring? Not when I can produce juicy scandals about incest, sexual indiscretions and mental health. Did you know that Bloody Mary had two phantom pregnancies??? What are they? Go freaking research it! I can also speak extensively on psychology, theology, cultures and literature. I am a nerd yes, but at least I'm interesting. Become an expert in something other than celebrity gossip and fashion. People will want to listen to you if you have something good to say.

Third. Stand up and step outside of the box. Do somthing different that you've never tried before. Go somewhere you've never been. It's all part of the layers that go into building who you are. You might stumble onto some freak thing you are great at....like fencing...or polygamy-just kidding.

Fourth. Ask lots of questions. When you meet someone new find out who they are. So many people are so self absorbed all they want to do is talk about themselves and they never stop to ask about the other person. Find out where they are from, what type of home they grew up in, what they do with their spare time, who they are dating, where they have travelled to, where they want to travel to....So in other words be interested in someone other than yourself.

And last but certainly not least....learn from mistakes. Not just yours, the mistakes of others as well. If you see someone do something stupid that leads to bad consequences-don't go repeating what they did to see if you get different results. Hellloooo? Can you say stupid? If it screwed them, it's most likely going to bite you in the bum too. Wisdom is so charming. A person that keeps making the same ol' blunders is not only stupid, they are likely to never succeed. Moxie people-MOXIE!!
