I honestly can’t believe what somebody said to me last night about my lifestyle. Here’s how the conversation went.
Me: I’m not going out this weekend. There’s no events on.
Them: That’s a good thing as I’ve seen your Facebook posts over the past couple of months and perhaps you should take it easy.
Me: What do you mean take it easy?
Them: Well you’re here there and everywhere, perhaps it might be a good idea to just stay home for a while, chill out and watch TV.
Me: You know I hate TV!
Them: Well perhaps you need to change your lifestyle a little bit, from our point of view it looks like all you do is go out dance, or take drugs, drink and dance. Its not good for you all that exuberance.
Me: What!
Them: For someone of your age, don’t you think that’s a bit undignified, all that jumping about every weekend? All those weekends away, raving. Are you try to relive your youth or something?
Me: Are you being serious, tell me you’re not serious!
Them: Yes, me and (partner) are worried about you. We’re worried you have a problem.
Me: I’ll live my life as I see fit. This year I’ve planned a lot of stuff and perhaps I don’t want to sit at home watching “love island” or some other equally boring shit because I enjoy what I do. What kind of problem do you think I have? Really, are you serious?
Them: Well, I was only thinking of you.
Me: I cant believe what i’m hearing here. Are you saying I should be more like you? Sat at home every night and weekend waiting for the grim reaper to turn up and whisk you away! What a waste of a life.
I may have swore a few times as I walked away!
