I was in ASDA today and I bumped into someone that 30years ago was a very good friend in fact she was a witness at my wedding. Over the years eventually we lost touch except Christmas cards etc..
Anyhoo for the first 10 years I knew her I helped her through many tough times... She came from a wealthy background and was constantly being subsidised house bought for her car etc.. We Mr B #1 and I had 2 young kids no munny no car etc but we were happy enough...She had a bad taste in men and had 3 husbands and 4 kids by different fathers in the 10years we were friends.. We sort of fell out when I needed a bit of support I was on my own...
As I say met her in ASDA I had chucked a couple of tops in my trolly and after a couple minutes talking she says to me in disgust.. My god are you reduced to buying clothes from ASDA ... I was a bit stunned at first then angry I let rip I'm afraid I said who the fuck are you to stand there and criticise me when I haven't even seen you for 20 years.. that was my starter for 10 I won't bore you with the rest and to be honest if I never see her again it will be to soon...
When I calmed down it got me thinking about how priorities change in life.. I was married at just 18 , 2 kids by the time I was 20, as I said we had nought... I wanted material things in my life... As years went on and I started to get things , I wanted bigger and better things and a better job etc..
Now as I get older I realise how stupid it all is it all means nothing so long as you can manage none of it matters ... What does matter is people, not what clothes they wear people should not be judged ...
WTF does it matter if they are rich or poor, pretty, handsome, ugly, tall or short, colour, long hair, short hair, bald, ginger, thin, fat, disabled, fit what does matter is the person inside. That is where you find happiness ...
If I am being honest I think I was happier when I had nothing life was simpler.. I look at people who seem to have it all but in reality have nothing...
Sorry I know this has been quite serious but I just felt so strongly I had to have a rant....
Now you can all take the piss cause I have got it off my chest so to speak...
