Have you ever wondered why some people are the way that they are?
Like, for instance: I am very old-fashioned in pretty much ALL ways. I cook, I clean, I sew, I craft, I crochet, and I believe in staying home with your kids if at all possible.
I try not to judge if you're not like me, but I am pretty much an odd-man out anymore.
This photo pretty much digs head-first into why I am the way that I am. And while it doesn't tell one exact story (well, it does, but I'm not going to tell it right now) it does say a lot about me.
I spent the majority of my childhood with old ladies.
Seriously. I fit right in too. I went on ladies retreats, volunteered at the nursing homes, was taught all there is to know about menopause, how to cook, make candies, and pray.
I enjoyed it and I still would, if I still had that opportunity.
It wasn't until I was in high school that I was part of a youth group, with, ya know...youth.

But I still never quite fit in the way that I did with the older bunch. It's shaped who I am today, many of my beliefs and way of life.
Besides the crafty part, this is the way I am too. I always describe myself as old-fashioned and I often connect with older folks better than I do with folks my own age.
ReplyDeleteKeep being who you are...awesome!
Jeremy and I constantly struggle with finding friends, and I tell him it's that we're too old-fashioned too. I think if we looked for friend who were at least 10 years older, we'd do alright. Haha.
DeleteI can relate to this so much! :) I know who you are...you are an amazing person! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jen! You're the best! <3
DeleteI totally feel you! I frequently feel like an eighty year old even though I'm only twenty five, ha ha.
ReplyDeleteMe too!

ReplyDeleteAww!! I can definitely see how you were influenced by the elderly company you kept! And in many ways I'm rather old-fashioned too--that intrigued my husband when we first met because I was the first girl he'd ever known who appreciated chivalry and didn't want to be an independent career woman.
ReplyDeleteI have to say, as old-fashioned as I may be, I am a pretty independent woman - although a career is the last thing I want! Haha. Thanks for reading and commenting!
DeleteAw, I love this! I'm old fashioned, too. And I'd love to stay at home with our kids one day, too. When we have them, that is;) thanks for sharing this sweet post! Love the glimpse into why you're you! :)
