Why Can’t I Be A French Goddess?
Reading her book Reckless, it’s clear that Chrissie Hynde is just like all of us post baby boomers — Gen X cohorts…not as self-centered as the “Me” generation, and too sensitive and sort of childish to get out of the matrix way of the shame mindset.
Maybe it’s called having a conscience. Or feeling not good enough. Hence wanting to be a French Goddess.
Gen X are really a lost generation — but and this is a big but, some of us seem to have risen like the Phoenix again, and some of us have just checked out.
Addicted Society
When I dusted myself off from about the sixth merry go round of falling for a charismatic alcoholic and ripped my co-dependency out of my mind and body, I felt good. I feel good. And good enough. Get through that shit and you’ll get through anything. (It’s a curse that’s in my family for sure.)
We have to fill our own cup first before we mingle with others.
This makes sense when you look at the recent music girls deaths ( Sinead O’Connor to Whitney Houston to Amy Winehouse to Dolores O’Riordan)
I look at You Tube videos of Matthew Perry explaining his addictions, and realise the suffering that addicts go through. Someone should have stopped the interviews and let Matthew cry — for himself. I think it works. He helped other people, but maybe in a co-dependent way.
Addictions/Codependency are two sides of the same coin. It can be ingrained in families for generations.
…And things are not always as they seem — even Bardot attempted suicide, at least once. This is not an article about how crazy Brigette went to the far right as she got older. It’s really saying self love is the most important love. We can aspire to be perfect — and let it go.
We do have a future, no matter what age, gender or beliefs. We all matter, whatever we appear to be.
