I've changed alot recently, maybe I've had an epiphany, maybe I'm just too tired to care what people think. Or maybe I'm en route to some kind of Michael Douglas-Falling Down type break down, ah well who knows?
Anyway, the point is whatever the reason may be, I've just got a bit braver, I just give less of a shit.
Life is just better when you don't determine your choices based on the perceived reactions of others.
I realised this the other day when I shocked myself by shouting at an old lady in Aldi. Don't worry she totally deserved it, she was incredibly rude to me for no reason and I only gave her back what she gave me. She should think twice before targeting a harassed working mother who is due her period.
Truthfully, I am in no way a confrontational person. I hate conflict and I only enjoy arguing with my husband but I've reached a stage now where I might not actually tolerate other people's bad behavior and the world is just going to have to suck it.
