Guys always talk about girls being lucky to be able to have options in their lives... we can choose to retire early in marriages and be a full time mom. I do agree that we have the luxury to stay home if the family is sustainable with single income, and most women are not mentally adaptable in a harsh working environment. I wouldn't argue about the mental issue, yet I figured that it is women nature that we are not physically fit enough to work like a guy.... From all the traveling from east to west and back to east and then to west again, I demanded sleep more than anytime in my life, my fatigue breaks down my limbs I need to rest whenever I see a seat, I cannot adjust my jetlag as easily as before. I like aging in a sense of maturity, yet I hate aging in a sense of deteriorating physical condition.
I missed our museum hopping in Vienna. I missed all the paintings and luxury of spending 30min admiring a single piece of art and making an emotional connection with it. I missed the time and effort reading and understanding and sinking into the history of art. Even though an entrance fee to a single gallery costs more than the massive Louvre I do prefer to pay more for the tranquility and distance away from crazy tourists.
I do agree that Klimt's Kiss is undeniable the best work that he has done.. I love Judith more than the Kiss, not because of any sort of feminism, I was particularly drawn to her drop dead gorgeous face. It is an irony to paint such a seductive flame after a cruel murder. She is soo pretty.
