Experience Life, Don't hold back!!

Welcome Back,

I am determined to live My Life to the fullest, To experience all the things I've ever wanted to do. There are many things I have taken an interest in and for one reason or another I have been held back.

Basically, I'm sick and tired of being told "NO, you can't" or "Why, that's just silly" and "NO, Now really isn't a good time".
With me being a "people pleaser" I have put my interests on the back burner, just to keep the peace. Never really questioning Why I can't, What's so silly about it or When would be a good time.

I just feel so frustrated sometimes, always feeling like I have to put my life on hold, while watching everyone else just do what they want. Why am I made to feel like the exception to the rule? Why do I have to work twice as hard to prove myself just to get a little recognition?
I fully understand the Life isn't always fair, You have to work hard for the things you want and I accept that. I am so tired of other people playing God and dictating what I will or will not do. It would one thing if I were 10 years old, but the big 30 is literally right around the corner. This has gone on for far too long, I have the reigns and I'm taking control for once!

With that said, here's just a sample of what I'd like to experience.

* I have always wanted to learn to knit, crochet...I had a great grandmother that knew how, but she wouldn't teach me... guess she thought 8 years old was too young, maybe she didn't have the patience I did take an hour long class a few years ago... See for me I learn better when it's hands on, I remembered what I was shown for about 2-3 days but I forgot how the add the next row of stitches... so I have all the materials sitting in a bag in my closet.
* I have an interest in learning a few different languages... French, Spanish, Italian.
* Cake Decorating... I did take the first class out of 4 that were offered. I learned the basics and have made good use of the decorating kit I bought, but I still want to learn more and get into making Special Custom Cakes.
* Traveling... Is a MUST!! I have been cooped up here on the East coast for far too long. I want to visit Europe and spend time in Ireland, Italy, Sweden, maybe even Spain and France. Australia has always interested me. Along with getting back up to Canada I have my passport... now it's a matter of getting enough time off of work.
* Dancing... If I could learn any dance, no it wouldn't be the Electric Slide, or a country line dance, but The Hustle , that's right I said it, The Hustle!!!

See that wasn't so bad.... it's not like I'm looking to sky dive or wanting to be on the next rocket to space or be shot out of a cannon. I just want to be able to express myself in a creative manner and have a little fun. I don't see the harm in that or why they need to be kept on the back burner. Do you?

It's about time I wrap this up. Thanks again for listening/reading.
