Gen X choose peace over people

[@nichollebraspennickx943]

Great point - “At this point in my Life - I don’t have it in me to tolerate an energy vampire!” Gen X. My peace is cultivated daily…

That’s why I can’t fault people who choose their pets over people. Pets bring joy, people not so much.

I've had furbabies for years, and my therapist told me once I need to cultivate more friendships with humans sometimes and i was like "why"? lol

I choose peace, but I don't mind talking and relating to other Gen X'ers.

I agree with you… Gen X here… We were outside and we defended for ourselves… I came from an extremely toxic upbringing two alcoholic parents who really just didn’t care… And I’m not dealing with that later on in my age. When I turned 50. I realize that, what they call the bullshit meter, crapped out. I no longer gave a crap… That’s it you know what, I get one guaranteed go round in this world and I wanna live my best life. So I don’t deal with toxic anymore. I don’t deal with alcohol anymore. I don’t deal with “ pick Me” people anymore. I surround myself with very limited humans but they are ones that don’t fall in those categories. And I’m OK with that. I’m OK with quality over quantity any day. ❤

You are so right. After my boyfriend died last year, I don't want to be bothered with anyone except my kids. I just want to have peace.

At 53 both parents gone changed my perspective. Dad in 2012 mom 3 years ago. Childhood homes gone, sold or with family not worth time or energy. The healing shadow work ive been going through is anazing. Parents were not capable humans, no fault.. too much to expect more. I put my life goals on hold with moms situation/illness i had to find the key and let myself out. I now walk in the light and excited to get going.

@DanielleHughes11 Ty!

We cleaned the house after Soul Train and during American Bandstand.😂 Yes, we’d be outside all day! I did go inside my neighbors house and she’d make sandwiches and have cake or cookies with it and milk. I felt like we went back in time to the 1950s being in her home. After we ate, she had stacks of Jet magazines that I read through. My Big Wheel was my favorite toy! I had a crew and everything! I literally rode that thing to the ground, until the wheels fell off! I want another one 😂 They do have them for adults.

Gen X here from the Northeast: I remember marching in my junior high school band days, and my mother slathering vaseline on my face to "cut the wind" while we marched during the middle of winter 🤣I thought nothing of marching in freezing cold while playing my lil flute with my gloves on. This would be considered child abuse now😂

[@DanielleHughes11]

Oh man, the Vaseline was a real thing! 😜 In your right definitely child-abuse now 😂

[@Cerebro1977]

Yessss we took pack of ramen noodles. Cracked em up in bag. Added powder and Wala!!! Lol. Drank water out of closest outside faucet
