Today I was out and about, and I saw an old couple walk out of Walgreens, They look like they have been together for 50 years. He was holding her hand, and helping her walk. You could tell she was fragile but he held onto her with all his strength and then he opened her door for her. And she was the driver. It was so cute. They looked so happy together, not just comfortable they looked really happy. They have probably been together since they were in school, or even longer.
Then I was out to eat, and there was a huge group of senior citizens and as I looked over all the women we're at one end and all the men we're at the other end. My mom explained to me that, that was an thing they did a very long time ago. It was amazing.
The whole drive home I was wondering about things, I wish I grew up in the 1940's when thing had to be "Perfect." You lived in a white picket fence neighborhood, women were never seen without wearing a dress, your house always looked superb, and the wives stayed home and waited on the men. I wish that was still the way things were, I wish I could see that. And now the closest to that I will ever be is Desperate Housewives. And nowadays when your looking for a house, you have to worry "is it going to be safe?" In many ways. Why can't it go back to the way things were, it seemed great. Everyone went to Balls, and everything was always in place. You never went anywhere without a full set of make-up, your hair done, and you outfit absolutely gorgeous! When it was wrong to show your knees or even your ankles. People in the 1940's had it made. But they had to work for what they got. And thats whats wrong with our generation, we dont want to work for anything, we think everyone is just handed to us. Because thats what has happened to us. And thats all we are going to know.
I'm going to go live my past live now. I'm out
(:
