RE: Coffee With The Old Folk

This was such a lovely read, I can tell you enjoyed reading (and experiencing) this. But first,

It's not one I recieve often.

How can that be? I've only had the pleasure of seeing you across the digitalsphere, but I dare say you're gorgeous. All iterations of you you've published on the 'chain down the years. You are. And should know.

Back to the story,

Young people today, she says, want it all so quickly. Get married, get a mortage, car, house, kids. She argues one should live debt free and not need all of those things.

Gotta say I resonate so much with this (go figure). IS it really just today? Wasn't it this always, and fringe people maybe feeling something else? I honestly don't know.

We are charmed by each other.

I love this because it reads like a genuine, thought through emotion. Not 'she's nice' or something bland and generic. I like reading you, particularly things like this from you because it's such real and good writing and anchors me down. I hope you go again.

Right. Off to make some cinnamon rolls (which was actually the plan for today, and I shall take this as an omen). :)

Sort:  

cinnamon rolls

Oh yum. They say fresh baked ones at that cafe and I'm keen to try next time.

Wasn't it this always, and fringe people maybe feeling something else?

Definitely the last twenty odd years I reckon. There's a panic to have things so you don't go under. Get a house. A job. Because you might end up homeless, etc etc etc. And dark consumerism is at its worse. Everyone trying to sell you a dream.

Of course I don't post ugly pictures of me online haha. I don't think I photograph well. But Jamie thinks I'm beautiful so that's all that matters. It's a symptom of his deteriorating eyesight.

I'm so glad you enjoyed my writing.
