I did/do it MY way!

What can I say? I have just always gone my own way. I follow my heart, my dreams and of course what I passionately believe is right for me.

I think my mom said to me once that I was born 60. Well I am now in a relationship with someone who is around about that age. I guess I had to wait a while! I have lost friends because of it, who believe this is ‘wrong’, or perhaps they are afraid, I do not know. I cannot say that this is not irrelevant, because of course I am saddened by this fact, I am human. As I was growing up I always knew I wanted to read, that I wanted to learn, that I wanted to write and that I wanted to 'do good' (I have a passion I want to help people in more unfortunate circumstances than me, or change injustices). When I was 14 I thought 'why am I not Jewish?’ as I learnt about the tragic chapters in the history of the Jewish people. I spent every afternoon on my bed, reading about these people’s stories, unfortunately mostly sad but also happy ones, guaranteed inspirational. I didn't know a tremendous amount about Judaism, but nevertheless, I felt Jewish somehow.

I still read a lot, I try my best to learn every day, I am working on an academic career with the ultimate goal to be able to write, and I try to ‘do good’ but know that I could do so much more. And perhaps, hopefully, in a relatively near future I will be Jewish.

This is me. I love Hillary. I am now the closest I have ever been to that little girl I mentioned a week ago (see previous post). I cannot be who I am not, I cannot ‘un-love’ who I love and I cannot ‘un-do’ the make-up of my heart, my being, and my feeling.

Love to all, Sara
