RE: Could I be saying this any different?

Ah, us woman are bred to please. It's less dangerous for us that way (arguably). Smile, be pretty, bend. And if we don't - if we establish boundaries, be firm, be clear and true, that doesn't always go down so well either. It's a fine line we tread, but it's darn good to question our behaviour. I know I've said this to you before, that is, a sentence that begins with 'the older you get...' but it's true. You start being a little more assertive. Refuse a little, if not a lot.

It bears repeating, for sure. And I'm definitely noticing this in my own life. I seem to have a lot less patience for things I would've easily taken in stride just a handful of years ago. Who would've thought so much could change in so little time.
