Country music – at last!

A Cairdfore Opinion is happy to welcome guest blogger Lauren to give her take on all things Gen-Y!

lulu logoBeing single means something different at every age. There are rules to follow, ways to behave, expectations to have and to let go of, and each of these things varies depending on the age of the single person. Goodness, so much to think about when really you should be focusing on YOU. It sounds selfish, but think about it this way: You are not part of the unit you previously identified with. You are your own unit now! I like to imagine my "self" as a house. How am I decorated? I think about colours, textures, and lighting, but, equally as important, the layout of it all, the purpose and functionality of each "room". Especially important is the potential for renovation. What would I like to change and why?

Just a quick example of a recent rediscovery. (Let's say I went digging through the attic of my metaphorical house and found a treasure box with some of my past interests). I spent so much time in past relationships thinking that the key to a successful relationship was making the other person happy. I was so preoccupied with the other person that I completely lost track of the things that make me happy. This summer I invested a lot of time catching up on the last four years of country music, because I had let that interest of mine fall by the wayside in deference to someone else's musical tastes. I'm pleased, of course, that I learned so much about other genres of music, but I recognize now that I allowed my own interests to be blotted out by someone else's. Evidently, I've recently realized, I'm really not okay with that. I've actually had a ball rediscovering the things that make me tick.

Are there any interests or favourite things, whether it be food, music, places, or even people, that you have pushed to the bottom of your priority list without realizing you've done so?

Have you recently rediscovered an interest you forgot you enjoyed?
