Trending

I heard it for the first time in a song yesterday and loved it. “If I were you, I’d rather be me.”  I reckon that would go well on a tee shirt.  The singer also sang “I thank God every day that I wake up feeling this way.”
What I found remarkable about this, is that it was sung by a women.  Ok I may be generalizing but women seem to have a much greater problem then Neanderthals….er men, with body image.  I have never heard a man say “do I look fat in these pants?”  Probably some place in between a man not caring enough, and a women caring too much, is right.
There is an ad being shown now that talks about “on trend.”  I have never been one for trends. I remember my socks had to be folded down a certain way to be “on trend.”  I had a real hard time with that.  Besides, what goes around comes around.  What was on trend 40 years ago seems to be again.  I know I don’t play nice, but I will get or do whatever I need to right now, regardless of “trend.”
It is important though that we look our best.  I remember someone saying to me that people should not have to look twice at you.  I think I know where they were coming from.  It is important, I think, that we don’t stand out in our manner or look for any reason.  If that means being “on trend,” so be it.
Besides being “different” to me, is an inside thing.
