Authors: Fifi Flowers
Once I moved past the main objective of having a career, to prove that I could be a successful business woman, I found that it could also bring me happiness. My passion for fashion became my focus.
How could I incorporate my love for the clothing world into my public relations job?
A love I learned from my mother. Part of her career, she dressed for her job daily, appropriately for every occasion: carpool, sport practices, ballet classes, and business dinners. She researched different glamorous magazines and then shopped. I represented the people she followed, and I loved every minute of it. We were both career girls: an office for me, a home with a husband and children for her.
With children, we differed only that I didn’t want any of my own. Otherwise, I loved being around them. I think the reason I was most adamant about not having children was because of my upbringing. While my parents weren’t terrible people (they didn’t abuse us or beat us), they preached to us their ideals or those of the generations before them. For me, those guidelines caused me frustration and pain. It is said that there is no instruction manual for raising children. They also say we learned from our parents. I knew my parents had learnt from theirs, and I didn’t want to be like them. Nor did I believe I was capable of teaching them. Maybe my own ideas weren’t correct, either. I wasn’t willing to experiment, and I was thankful that I found someone with my same aversion to childrearing.
Like my mother, we both love our men. For Marian she wanted a marriage, kids and the white picket fence. Me, I didn’t want any of that. Not one part of that idealized dream. No permanent man for me. Just a number for fun, and then move on. That was before Dash breathed new desires into my life. He made me want to share treasured moments with someone. He made me think about forever… as in shacking up together, not the marriage thingy. We exchanged I love you freely on a daily basis. But, no exchange of vows. No wedding, but lots of honeymoons. Bottom line: Rockstar-yoga-guru made Corporate-girl very happy!
