I’m over it…

Inspired by Shirley MacLaine “I’m over it” only done in Peta Style as I reflect my last 38 years on this earth.

I’m over being “on” social media, I don’t get the TikTok generation and I don’t want to be a part of it, sometimes you need to learn to let go and pass the torch to the next generation.

I’m not over being creative on social media, keeping up with emerging trends, building communities and continuing to cultivate useful content, by using my media powers for good not for klout.

I’m over offering advice and have it fall on deaf ears, if someone can’t help themselves, you can’t let them drown you in their misery.

I’m not over offering free PR for organisations or friends who need it, however I have to be selective or I will get burnt out if I spread myself too thin.

I’m over those who want something from you, but blank you when you’re trying to get whatever you loan them back. The bottom line is just because I’m easy going, don’t take it for granted. I’m very observant and switched on. I’ll give people chances, but don’t think they are unlimited.

I’m not over having empathy and listening

I’m over shitty politicians from both ends and their false promises.

I’m not over trying to do my bit to fight social injustice and keep reminding myself of my privilege, knowing my place and working on being a supportive ally.

I’m over labels.

I’m not over learning and embracing my quirkiness and weirdness. Power to Weirdos!!

I’m over the educational system bureaucracy and not putting children first

I’m not over supporting the teachers who have touched my life and reminding them what a powerful force they were in my life. Love you all.

I’m over constant news and social media consumption

I’m not over getting my news from different sources, trying to learn as much as I can and come to my conclusion. One source is never the best source.

I’m over the rudeness I witness on airplanes

I’m not over writing notes to the flight attendants showing my appreciation and gratitude, remember they are not “glorified servers” in the air, they do so much more than give you your meal. Be kind to them, they work hard and they are the first ones to put themselves in harm’s way to protect us.

I’m over petty disagreements

I’m not over reminding those I love to live the life they love and love the life they live.

I’m over clubs, static music and toxic crowds

I’m not over a nice glass of wine, a comfy lounge and great company.

I’m over people trying to make me feel bad or guilty.

I’m not over love, and this year I’ll be celebrating five years with my partner.

I’m over credit cards, this gets the younger generation into so much trouble, we need to replace geometry with life skills like money management.

I’m not over learning more about Blockchain technology and the power of crypto.

I’m over this pandemic

I’m not over being cautious, playing it safe and making others and my love ones around me feel safe.

I’m over with the obsession with weight

I’m not over trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle that encompasses everything physically, emotionally, spiritually

I’m over big talkers and egos

I’m not over supporting my friends, former classmates, love ones, family and acquaintances with any milestone they’ve achieved. A genuine compliment can go long way and make someone’s shitty day into a beautiful day.

PS. There are plenty of other things I’m over and not over, but look out for part 2 in the next six months.
