sudden realisation
I just realised that I will never be a world-weary, over-the-hill cop, three days from retirement, partnered with a zany and wise-cracking young hotshot, on the trail of a conspiracy led by a cold-blooded European paramilitary force that has put the safety of my family and the whole Eastern seaboard into jeopardy… and I got little sad.
Am I over-reacting?

I don’t think you’re overreacting at all. I feel the exact same way about the fact that I’ll never be a gum-snapping, Southern accented, bee-hived, rough-around-the-edges waitress who, although she presents a rock hard exterior, has a heart of gold and just wants to find love.
Life sucks sometimes.

Sometimes we just have to struggle on through our disappointments.
I am learning to accept that I will never be a vapid, over sexed, jetsetting, world famous, swimsuit model with legs so long they make a grown man cry and women murderous with envy. sigh (chokes back tears)

That’s odd…
As a off-beat, good looking, quick to give a smart remark, busy television editor, who has run-in with celebrities, funny neighbours, and an odorable dog… I forgot what I was going to say…
Anyway, I just hope my life never jumps the shark.

Not over-reacting - I have had to accept that I will never be a jet-setting chess master, award winning writer and sculptor, with a gaggle of admiring men who think not only do I embody the sexy prowess of Sophia Loren but I have brains too! Oh yes, and with a back up career as a TV presenter who throws great parties in my loft space apartment, and the other half of a fabulous glamorous couple…
Sad. But true.
Conclusion: if I was all those things, wouldn’t I want something else anyway???

I’m getting too old for this shit.
