I Have Something to Say

Over the last few years I have realized that being different can be challenging. I am a 37 year old woman with children and I have certain hobbies that the women my age don't . For instance I love playing with my RC cars outside. I would love to join this RC car community club around my area but it's mainly guys so I wouldn't feel comfortable. I also love playing with my Rubiks Cube and IQ twist brain teaser games. Reading is also another favorite thing of mine. I don't care what people think of me because I rather be me. I'm not going to do what everyone else does just because everyone else is doing it. I think that is ludicrous. I also dress different than most women my age as well but again I have never been the person to follow the crowd. I am a leader not a follower. I just have a hard time talking to other people. Despite not fitting in I'm not going to stop doing the things I love because I have children who I am instilling these same values in and I have to lead by example. I do get sad sometimes because I don't have a lot of friends to talk to. Does anyone else have this problem?

Start your own RC car club for females and post the info somewhere. Make it ladies only. I am sure there are more around. I get lonely sometimes but do enjoy solitude. I read and mostly I write.

That is an awesome idea! I will look into that. Writing a book is a life goal of mine. I would love to be a writer. Not for the $ but for the passion. @lasergraph

@Ang444 The passion is the only reason to write. If it was for the money I would have stopped long ago. I publish on Kindle. First as e-books and now Amazon has a print on demand service. I am making print versions of all.

What do you write about? Give me a title so I can look it up and read it.

@Ang444 that's awesome, you will have a lifetime bonding buddy to play with 😬 I sold all of my cars for lack of people playing anymore. Could kick myself now... but I'm bound to get more.. always do.

It is never too late and I encourage you to do so. If it makes you happy go for it. Happiness that's what life is supposed to be about. Many people are so caught up in the rat race that they don't know that happiness is all they need. When we are old and in our last years of life it's better to reflect back and think about what we did in life and remember all the happiness that we experienced with ourselves and others!

@Ang444 I agree! I've always been a kid a heart. I will always love my RC toys and my old trains.

To hell with what others think, just do whatever you think is correct as long as it does not hurt the feelings of others. Remember Aesop's fables where a father and son take a donkey to the market?, just be good to yourself.

You should never stop being you just to fit in. I know its hard making friends, especially as we get older, but we shouldnt change ourselves to make those friends.

I agree with you 100%. @NotYourPepper
Just be yourself live your life the way you want and do the things you want don't worry about others oppinions of it it's your life not theres
