I have not been old all my life, you know
I know that there are different sorts of heaters from radiators to convectors.
I know what it’s like to fall in love with someone selfish or ridiculous.
I may not look beautiful now but I once was.
Once I could read books without my glasses on
I could read the computer screen and the keyboard together simultaneously in other words
I could run for the bus
Well I could drive in fact.
I could carry lots of shopping from the supermarket and put it away without getting tired.
I could even run up the stairs
I had parents and siblings I had an extended family
I’ve not always been alone in the world
Women envied my complecion and admired my hair
Men lusted after me. They even fell in love with me.
So don’t give me your foolish advice or even you are good advice
No I don’t mind good advice but not when I’m feeling really sensitive. In any case it’s very hard for anybody to really emphasize with another person when you’ve not gone through the same things in life.
