Good for her, and I too, find myself rooting for her.

I laughed so hard at the advent coming, or rather the metamorphosis of the male gaze, after observing it for so long.

Can young men such as I, find themselves in the same predicament? Of becoming a horny old woman that is?! Perhaps, or quite possibly within the realm of possibility. Especially, when one has a 81 year old Dutch Godmother, that was a hippie in 1968, and is never worried about speaking her mind.

For some reason, after reading the above for four consecutive times. I’m reminded of Nietzsche. He said “He who has a why to live for, can bear almost any how.” That “why” can be almost anything, at least in my humble opinion of course. Which makes the complexity and diversity of the “how” irrelevant, as the “why” can standup to anything the “how” throws at it.

The young waitress found herself in those shoes I guess. At that very moment, that empowerment through self awareness and realization, came floating down the heavens, like a revelation in the form of a sudden epiphany.

Well done on capturing it all with your keen observing eye, and I thank you, for conveying it so thoughtfully, through the written word.
