The Beauty in Life

Birthday Greens

I went out for my birthday this weekend. At karaoke, I spent too much time talking to a 49 year old man who told me I was better than everyone there and offered me ā€œthe good stuff straight from the cartelsā€. He told me to get out of this city and go be famous. Different man in a cowboy hat gave me a ring and necklace set with no context. Just put it in my hand and walked away. Who did he buy this for? I actually really like it, the gems are purple and red and the necklace has a magnetic clasp. Sometimes I get lots of attention and then hate myself afterwards. Why did I have to wear that dress? It looks great on me. Too good? Who do I think I am? According to a woman at the bar, I am Joan Jett’s doppelgƤnger. I make many friends going out. My favorite are middle aged gay men who take selfies with me. In a different life I think I was a gay man. What if you change genders each lifetime? I believe that I’ve been a mother in past lives. I feel spiritually connected to people and places I don’t know and haven’t been. My own current lifetime feels like a past life. One more year down! This may be the best lifetime yet.
