I’m feeling a little sassy today and thought it would be fun to flip life balance upside down. Here’s a little diddy about a life that works backwards…

Note: If you are a regular visitor to CreateaBalance.com, you may find the ending a little risqué. I am daring to step out of my blogging comfort zone!

  

In My Next Life!

by Paula Smith

I want to live my next life backwards:

You start out dead and get that out of the way.

Then you wake up in a nursing home feeling better every day.

Then you get kicked out for being too healthy.

Enjoy your retirement and collect your pension.

Then when you start work, you get a gold watch on your first day.

You work 40 years until you’re too young to work.

You get ready for High School: drink alcohol, party, and you’re generally promiscuous.

Then you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play, and you have no responsibilities.

Then you become a baby, and then…

You spend your last 9 months floating peacefully in luxury, in Spa-like conditions – central heating, room service on tap, and then…

You finish off as an ()rgasm.

I rest my case.

  • Stacey! Stepping outside of your comfort zone – I love that!

    A life backwards – think how smart we would actually be as teenagers. We would think we knew all the answers, and then, we’d really have a lot of them based on our experiences from before (or, is it after). And, hey, we finish off in a great big bang!!

    A little risqué, a little humor, a different view on life – nice job today! It’s good to mix things up every now and then…

  • That was definitely sassy and I absolutely loved it! I’m going to put this link on twitter – people need to see it!

  • Barely raised an eyebrow for me in the risque dept, but the idea is fantastic. I appreciate your sharing it, and the risk you felt you needed to overcome for to post it. It’s good to dare yourself. I know when my piece “Sing a Song of Sexpence” hit the blogosphere, I cringed, but it seems the metaphor went right under the radar and nobody “got” what I was really writing about.

  • @ Lance – Thanks! Part of practicing the art of life balance is for me to balance all the different voices of being Stacey. It felt good to mix it up a bit.

    @Stacey – Thanks for the Twitter mention and the Facebook wall post.

    @Kip de Moll – Yes, I know the post is tame compared to the rest of the web. Isn’t it amazing what are egos consider to be risky?

  • Remain authentic to your personal comfort level. No one needs to be more outrageous just because the Internet has outrageous nooks and crannies.

  • @Kip de Moll – My personal comfort level is somewhere near the edge where I challenge myself to truly feel alive. I won’t, however, be jumping into any crazy nooks or crannies any time soon. Thanks!

  • Ooh, I like this idea, and the exciting way you’ve presented! Only if we could!
