I've been posting a lot in the passed few days and I'm pretty proud of myself. I also just have a lot to say.
I've been listening to Lorde a lot lately. For those of you who don't know, Lorde is a singer from New Zealand. She's been making waves on American music charts with her song "Royals." A lot of her lesser known songs are pretty great too. She has such a unique sound and mature voice that it's hard to believe she's only 16, 17 in November.
It's girls like Lorde that make me think "what am I doing with my life?"
Everywhere I turn, the younger generation seems to be biting at my heels.
The Fab Five winning gold for the US in gymnastics during the 2012 Summer Olympics is a prime example. I feel so inadequate now. What had I done at their age? "Yeah hi, I haven't won any sort of international athletic title but I can make a killer PB&J sandwich so yeah."
Is this what it's like to be old? You're constantly being replaced by the newer and better model? I feel like I just got started. I'm the iPhone 5 and everyone is relatively happy with me and what I can do but then out of nowhere comes the 5c and it does everything I can do but it comes in colors other than white and black. What the heck? I didn't approve this! I thought I was such a catch! But now you're saying that since I can't sing or defy gravity I'm obsolete?
That's fine though. I'll just continue through life under the radar, until one day I make a magnificent discovery or change the human race forevermore. Then you'll all know me and my talent which rivals those of my peers.
Sincerely,
Mare
