thirties. bah.

people judge as they will.

they jump to conclusions, they want to shake you, yell - and i ask: why?

does it make them feel clever to infer things by cleverly catching my 'slips'? do people only talk about things that happened to them? no? i don't get why people are so very keen to pin things completely unrelated to what you just said to you then.

it seems that the thirtier a person gets the more judgemental that person is. men, women - same thing. but give me an older person, the reaction will not be as such. maybe they've mellowed, maybe they've become wiser - whatever it is, it certainly makes that person easier company.

nothing against people in their thirties - it's a great age to be in. you're young, you've gotten somewhere in your life and you've seen the world and are soon-to-be leaders (if you're not one already) - but hey.

for all the years that you had been in this world, surely you understand how it is? will it take you a couple more years to understand that ramming things down another's throat either doesn't work or it backfires? or that you may have seen much but maybe, just maybe, the person you're talking to, your friend, isn't really in need of YOUR opinions?

for god's sakes let up and be a friend.

and before you think that ho! poor loren, she's gotten herself into some kind of scrape and is complaining about it - no.

it's not about me. true that i have friends who do just that but this is not what it's about. this is about people who think they're too clever by half, too sharp, too worldly-wise, too - too bloody insensitive to those about them.

you get what i mean?


it's almost like they can't help it. like a child not being able to help wanting something and screaming about it, they can't help but feel superior.

and that just takes the cake. wow.
