I wonder why she is not copping to having christened an Air Canada lavoratory or two
 
I wonder why I always lose my way in my own head.

I wonder why I can't be satisfied by simple things.
 
I wonder why I'm so shy in real life, yet a little bolder here.
 
I wonder when the next time I'm going to get a full evening at home with my husband will be....
 
I wonder how many times you can hit snooze, before the alarm clock just says "too hell with it , just stay in be then!"
 
I wonder how much further I can be pushed before I do something I will regret?

I never regret the things I do. I see my mistakes as a lesson to be learned. I only regret the things I didn't do, the opportunities that passed me by.

Always better a Oops, than a What If...

Unless, of course - you're regretting playing with the brakes cable on your neighbours car- because that is just some evil shit and you need to go apologise to him whilst he is still in hospital! :eek:

It's not just me that would be affected :)

I understand that. I'm not saying just make flippant decisions and to hell with everyone else. Don't ever make a decision that you couldn't face the consequences for. You have to take full responsibility for your own actions, regardless of the reasons that pushed you.

But. At the end of the day, this is YOUR life. You are the main person in your life. You are not a secondary character.

I fully respect those who spend their lives putting everyone else first, and if that makes them happy - then that's great. But if they are spending their life unhappy, for the sake of another person's happiness - is that how to spend your limited time on earth?

Maybe I'm too selfish in this, but I refuse to wake up one day and find that I have lost valuable years that can never be regained. I have actually kinda done this - and I won't do it again. I'll do what I can, when I can, for other people. But I'm important too.
 
^^^^ Sounds like good, calm advice...

Something I found helpful when I was at a crossroads in my life, many years ago, was thinking about how I'd feel in a year, five years, ten years, if I went for the safe 'do nothing' option. It did help clarify things a lot.
 
I wonder what the point was. I'm not that boring dang! :eek:

And butting in the conversation. The only good advice my mother ever gave me was live your life in a way that makes you happy. No one else will do it for you.
