I feel I've found a friend in you, and I hope you feel the same. If we lived close enough, I'd be running over to your house frequently, and inviting you over to mine.<br /><br />I've also noticed that I'm getting... older. I refuse to label anything/anyone as officially "old" until they reach at least 70. And even then, it's still pretty relative. I'm 52, but I still feel 20-something inside. Most days, anyway.<br /><br />Sending you all the hugs you want/need!Lucretiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489662765492879926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4285040871788475872.post-22285797904384485892014-11-21T01:01:42.231-05:002014-11-21T01:01:42.231-05:00*hugs* I understand where you're coming from....*hugs* I understand where you're coming from. I've shut out almost everyone from my life. I want you to know your thoughts and feelings are valid and we love to hear from you. Always feel like there is an outlet to vent.

I think you will just have to get used to being the weird friend though. Especially if there is no one else interested in the same things that you are. I am lucky I have friends that enjoy the same things I do, but I also have a lot of normal friends that just think I'm weird. In fact my screen name Monster Mary is from a friend. She calls me that because of the way my house is decorated and for my love of old horror movies. Quite often people that I work with just can't relate to the things I enjoy. But they love me for who I am. Those that can't...well I just ignore them. It wasn't always that way for me though. I had to learn to not care what others think. And I am much happier for it. <br /><br />Where I live has a huge and varied Goth community. And at 45 I am usually one of the older people at most get togethers. But as they say, you are only as old as you feel. Now of course I don't even consider myself an Elder Goth because I know people that are in their 60s as well. It's all relative. <br /><br />There is a woman that comes into the store I work at often. I look to her for inspiration. She is beautiful to me. She has bright red hair, her nails are painted black, she wears Egyptian eyeliner (expertly applied), and she is always dressed in a beautiful velvet or silk dress. And she is in her 70s! But what makes her truly stand out is her confidence and demeaner. When I told her I liked her style one day, she just smiled and said "oh honey I've dressed this way for years. Young girls today have no style. They just want to all look the same". And you know something? She is absolutely right! She reminds me of Louise Brooks. She is timeless and Classic and more Goth than I ever hope to be. <br /><br />So my point is just be who you are. And people will enjoy your company. If that woman can have the confidence to be goth in her 70s then so can we. :)Mary Mourninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07591017410886827287noreply@blogger.com
