assumptions and speculations

Ya know, all my life people on the fringe have made assumptions about me, my family based on what they see. Yes, growing up we had a large farm, my parents always had a nice car and a couple farm rigs ..not NEW but decent vehicles suitable for buzzing to town or around the farm.We had a large, dencent home. I had nice clothes, NOT name brand or designer clothes but a few nice outfits. My parents were very active in the local fire department. My dad was the fire chief for 10 years and a Port commissioner, shortly after he resigned, my mom was elected a fire commisioner. What people didnt know or bother to ask is what it took to have those things. The farm, home and vehicles were all part of the FARM and mortaged accordingly. Farming is not a wonderful income MOST of the time. My parents and grandparents worked their asses off to keep all of that afloat. As for the clothes and lovely furnishings for the home...alot of my clothes my mother MADE for me and my brother to an extent. So there was money in the very limited income for mom to splurge once or twice a year on a more expensive outfit. Like I said, not designer names but things from The Bon ( Macys now). She also always had a craft project going that brought in extra cash for her to buy the nice furniture or things maybe other families thought of as fancy. She didnt run right out and buy it when she wanted it, she saved! My point in that little story is that MOST people assumed we had money and lots of it, and treated us as if we did. I was called spoiled by some and they assumed I was a stuck up person. In reality, I learned to only let in those people who took the time to find out who I was and not go by what they assumed. This fun little trend in peoples thinking has continued for most of my adult life as well. I am at the age that I really dont care what people think anymore. If they cared to get to know me, they would find out who I am and not go by appearances. In my current relationship, people seem to be doing just that same thing again. Not one person has bothered to ask either of us why or how we got involved. Not one single person that I know of. They are assuming because he is older, that I am out to get something from him. I am! But not what people assume. I want several things from him but none that can be bought. I want his love, his respect, his insights, his humor, his attention, and his body! Yes, his body!! I am quite certain that many people assume that we are not physical, HA!! This man plays my body like a violin! He knows just exactly where and how to touch me to bring wave after wave of pleasure. If people actually knew how hard we have to work to stay out of bed, they would be ever so jealous! I have never loved anyone the way I love this man. I want to be a better woman for him. I want him to be so very happy. I love to see his eyes smile even when they are closed. I want us to share our lives. All of it..the good the bad and the ugly. As for all of the people that dont bother to ask, and meerly go off of assumptions and speculations... perhaps before they speak, they should take a harder look.
