At 50 years old, I suddenly feel that I need to cherish my time and energy, and I need to give up more patience for certain things. Thinking of this quote from Meryl Streep is powerful and very cool.


I no longer have patience for certain things, not because I've become arrogant, but simply because I reached a point in mylife where I do not want to waste more time with what displeases me or hurtsme. I have no patience for cynicism, excessive criticism and demands of anynature. I lost the will to please those who do not like me, to love those who do not love me and to smile at those who do not want to smile at me.

I'm not impatient with certain things, not because I've become proud, but because I've reached a stage in my life where I don't want to waste time on things that make me unhappy or hurt me. I have no patience for cynicism, over-judgment, and demands of any kind. I don't want to please people who don't like me, or love people who don't love me, or smile at people who don't want to smile at me.

I no longer spend a single minute on those who lie or want to manipulate. I decided not to coexist anymore with pretense,hypocrisy, dishonesty and cheap praise. I do not tolerate selective eruditionnor academic arrogance. I do not adjust either to popular gossiping. I hateconflict and comparisons. I believe in a world of opposites and that's why Iavoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. In friendship I dislike the lack of loyalty and betrayal. I do not get along with those who do not knowhow to give a compliment or a word of encouragement. Exaggerations bore me and I have difficulty accepting those who do not like animals. And on top of everything I have no patience for anyone who does not deserve my patience.

I don't want to spend another minute with someone who is lying or manipulating. I've decided not to coexist with pretense, hypocrisy, deception, or cheap praise. I no longer tolerate selective erudition or academic pride, and I no longer change myself for the sake of gossip. I hate conflict and comparison. I believe in a world with two poles, which is why I avoid people with rigid and inflexible personalities. I don't like lack of loyalty and betrayal when it comes to friendship. I can't get along with people who don't know how to give praise and encouragement. Exaggeration bores me. I have a hard time accepting people who don't like animals. Most importantly, I don't have the patience to deal with people who don't deserve my patience.
