I've been poking around lots of blogs lately and my sister told me about Kate Takes 5, who does a Weekly Listography for everyone to share their lists on the subject at hand. This week the topic is the wisdom women have gathered over the years.
Being only 18, I can't say I have a lot of wisdom to share with you! Although, I can say what I've learnt from those dreaded teenage years!
1. As a woman you'll always have hang ups. No matter what age you are, it seems to me that every one has at least one thing they can criticise their self for. I'd love to be informed that this is truly just a hormonal teenage thing, but that's never going to be the case!
2. Secondary school is truly the best time in your life. It's when you're becoming all 'womanly' and you're wondering where your Mum got those big boobies because none of the boys seem to think yours are all that good. Also that 'I hate school' is a saying common for those teenage years that's transferred on to your French room tables as engravings that you'll one day regret.
3. The diet really doesn't start tomorrow. The body hang ups begin when you're a young lady in school and I can't think of the amount of times I decided I needed a 'diet'. But oh, as a teenager, life was just too stressful to truly ever begin one. And so I've heard, the 'diet starts tomorrow' excuse continues throughout womanhood.
4. Love isn't real when you're 14. Relevant to me anyway. I thought I was very truly in love with every boy I was with during my early teenage years, even after 1 day of a relationship. Being naive is always the case when you're young, and a broken heart can always easily be healed (especially when you're not REALLY in love).
5. Wine is a drink that tastes better with age. When I was young the adults drank wine and the children drank lemonade and Coke, now that I'm 18, the adults drink wine and I drink lemonade and Coke but with vodka, followed by beer and jagerbombs. But, wine tastes a smidgen better each year I take a curious sip at Christmas! So when I'm actually a woman, I'll surely like wine?

All true, 4 especially. And I love 5 - the wine and the philosophy.
ReplyDeleteI know, 4 is very true! Thank you! It's always been my hope and belief that one day I shall be a sophisticated wine drinker!
ReplyDeleteThose bloody hang ups eh?! Jagerbombs?! Once I've done them never again!! The following morning I was sick next to a car, only to look up once I'd finished spewing to find an elderly couple eating their lunch inside the car!! Like I said never again! PS - Your profile pic is gorgeous - the colour of your hair is awesome! x
ReplyDeleteI know! Aha they're always my last drink of the night, by that point I usually can't taste the hideous liquorice! Haha oh dear, I bet they weren't impressed at all! Thank you very much, it's a little more ginger these days, but still just as bright! x
DeleteYou have wisdom beyond your years, except in the case of the last one! I'm 43 and still hate the stuff. Lager on the other hand. By the way, The hang ups don't go but you learn to rationalise them more easily.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Haha damn! I'm doomed not to like it (actually, in luck not to like it I suppose, it's very vile stuff!) Well rationalising them is better than nothing!
DeleteTry wine with bubbles. That is all I can suggest.
DeleteI like your no.2. I think that your school years are some of the best years... not all but some.
With bubbles? I shall have to! Definitely not all, life is just exceedingly easy going at that time, of course at the time most teenagers will adamantly deny this claim and assure you they are the most hard done by person ever! aha
DeleteI always appreciate and love reading comments from you lovely lot, so comment away and don't forget to leave your links too! ♥
