long ago, when a girl was in her insecure twenties. She met a clever, independent, creative and powerful woman in her mid-seventies, who offered her a superb piece of life wisdom. She said, "we all spend our twenties and thirties trying so hard to be perfect, because we're so worried about what people will think of us. Then we get into forties and fifties, and we finally start to be free, because we decide that we don't give a damn what anyone think of us. But you won't be completely free until you reach your sixties and seventies, when you finally realize this liberating truth- nobody was never thinking about you, anyhow. "
They aren't. They weren't. They never were. People are mostly just thinking about themselves. People don't have time to worry about what you're doing, or how welltl you're doing it because they're all caught up in their own dramas. People's attention may be drawn to you for a moment ( if you succeed or fail spectacularly and publicly, for instance) but that attention will soon enough vanish.
