Is Adulthood a Mask? |
Does everyone want to feel like an adult? If you ask me, I'd say never. Never. Forty years have passed, until this age have I ever felt like one? I think never. There have been times when I've only pretended to be. That's the honest answer. Sometimes when I'm meeting with my publisher, I have to act like an adult and make decisions. I recently had to speak to a producer on the phone, and I was in the same situation, and I did what I had to do; I acted like a determined adult. Sometimes when you go to an invitation, you're expected to look that way. I've done these things countless times. But that wasn't what I had in mind. Acting like an adult woman was practically a mask. That's why I decided not to enter environments where I couldn't feel like myself. It's nothing new; it's been a while. I feel more comfortable. Considering that I'm a true indoor cat, it was a good decision.
I wrote in a recent column that people are disappointments. I still agree; that's why I don't contact anyone unless necessary. This is the most relaxing of all.........
