Bohemian

Bohemian...a person who has informal or unconventional social habits, especially an artist or a writer.

I've always thought of myself as a little different. My thoughts are a little unconventional as the years proved that I didn't always think the same way as my peers. I tended to be creative in a lot of ways and just thought that everyone was like me. But I was accepting of who I was. I liked art and at one time aspired to be an artist. In fact, I started college as an art major. Some of you may know the story of how I had to quit college to take care of my family who had been in a winter accident. I did go back, but into teaching instead.

I loved bright colors and that was reflective in my wardrobe. I especially loved the eighties when I could wear colorful scarves with big earrings and matchy-matchy necklaces and bracelets. I was the earring queen. No fancy gold for me...I loved costume jewelry.

But as I aged I became more conservative and my wardrobe suddenly had a lot of brown and beige. I spiced it up with jewelry and scarves but where was that Bohemian spirit? Why did I lose that? I felt a flame fading to a little spark. Was I using aging as an excuse not to live my life fully? Did I feel that been there, done that syndrome?

Where is my pep? That just let loose feeling? That..who give a damn?

So today I wore a scarf in my hair and beads! Let loose I said. And it felt good.

And I'm not even going to apologize for posting more pictures of myself on this blog. This is who I am....and I don't care what people think. So Bohemian...
