What Have You Learned About Yourself Recently??

Strong women understand that they don't have to apologize for having needs, and they are assertive in recruiting people to meet those needs. They have an expectation that their needs are reasonable, justifiable, and that they will be met.

It was a revelation to me to realize that i could be needy and messy and strong, all at the same time. That i can not have all of my shit together yet, and still be confident and worthy of respect.
 
I’ve learned that I’m a lot more patient and empathetic with people than most. And that I find it very difficult to be patient and understanding with myself!
 
I've learned that being alone for periods of time is actually good for your heart & soul.
Also that choosing to go 17 weeks without accessing the internet was extremely easy

L:rose:
 
*I'm losing a lot of the shyness I began here with.
*The criticisms I may have for others were first things I recognized within myself.
*If I truly am disgusted with someone here, make sure it's for the right reasons. Not influenced by others.
*My opinions matter, even if I'm the only one backing them, but they don't always have to be revealed.
*I'm a good person even if I have issues. Those issues don't define me, yet makes me human. No one is perfect.
 
I ran out of gas years ago and life feels like I have to mentally and physically push a car up the hill constantly.
 
Finding happiness for the first time has shown me that I probably don’t deserve it. I’m not used to it, and I just end up screwing up :(
 
Apparently I take a lot better care of myself than I ever realised. (Confirmed by medical testing today)

I guess when you’ve had a condition long enough it just becomes routine to deal with it.
 
I can run a different line at the Falls. Also, I really should scout more often, I don’t care how many times you run a rapid, things change, and if you don’t scout you might not notice the changes until too late.
 
That although I’m a fast learner, if it’s something about me personally, I learn extremely slowly. Information from my appointment yesterday is only just starting to filter it’s way to my brain now.

Apparently it’s totally my choice over whether or not to have surgery, but it’s not advised, as it would be considered a temporary solution in my case. And temporary solutions cause longer term damage. Just depends if I want to risk it, and there’s no certainty it wouldn’t work for the long term. They gave me less than a week to think about it! I’m working for every one of those days, and have no friends or family to discuss it with.

Why am I always thinking out loud on a forum? I feel like I’m always embarrassing myself

I like the realness of what you share, keep on sharing...I do the same sometimes.
 
Real is all I know how to be. It’s proving to be my demise!

Being real is not something learned but what is. On a site where so much unreal shit happens, realness comes off as a wildflower smelling waterfall of goodness of which some genuinely appreciates.
