One of these last days, when listening to one of the Andre Rieu's concerts, I surprised myself enjoying it a little too much. I am in my 20's and looking to what people in their 20's listen ... I found myself out of place. I hate the music playing today, and it feels like there are not many thinking like I do.
I enjoy a lot a good book and classical music and I do prefer reading the book rather than seeing the movie. It's old-fashioned, I know! But I think that there are more possibilities of "having fun" when you're old-fashioned! I also know that everyone around you will laugh at you and maybe they'll say you are crazy, but your "moment of happiness" will not last until you get sober. It's the kind of happiness that makes you feel good about yourself and pushes you to go further when you think you've touched your limits!
When we were kids, or even adolescents, we were told very often that after some time we won't care if the others like us or not, we won't try so hard to be someone we aren't. And it is true! During the high school, even if we didn't have the American style high school, we did have the popular, the beauty, the nerds, the cool, the dangerous etc. Maybe we tried hard to be someone we weren't, or maybe we've done things we are not proud of just to please one group of the other ... but by the end of high school we were all on our own!
We're not in high school anymore! It's no shame to admit you like reading or that you like classical music ...or that you play chess! Because the standards you are up against now are so much different then those in high school!
So, what? I am old-fashioned in a very, very up to speed age! Who says I'm not open-minded as well?
