What Have You Learned About Yourself Recently??

That I have a pious reflection but my shadow is a devil.
Come night and my shades break like glass against the tips.
My soul is pristine but once in a while the mind dribbles curious like a kid in a candy world. It takes so much to pull back.
I have learnt to tell want from need.
And now I am learning to live on need. :cool:
 
All my life I've craved solitude. I am the textbook definition of an introvert. I NEED alone time like I need to breathe. And it never seemed as if I got enough of it.

I've recently learned that I can have too much alone time.

I've recently learned that I can have too much alone time.

I was much like that for an extremely long time in my life. For me, most of it was running. I let someone into my heart that hurt me and it changed me. I wasn't about to let anyone else get in and mess it up again. I lived the rock star life, came and went as I pleased, kept everyone at arms length, slept with young women...it was all good for a very long time. Til I realized that I needed a change. Life was no longer really all that much fun, and very unfulfilling.

I took a trip out west, and standing at the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean at Big Sur, I had my epiphany moment. It was time to stop running..

2 months later I met the smokin hot redhead...and my life has changed so completely, I'm still running to catch up with it.

I suppose my point is, make sure you are ready for that one.. because when I was finally ready, there she was. :)

:heart: thank you darlin'. But I meant literally alone. I've moved away from everything and everyone I knew, and it's difficult to start over again in a new place. I miss having my boys here, and as much as I used to complain about them coming in and out at all hours and cooking in the middle of the night when they got the munchies, I'd love to hear those sounds now.

Having true friends who care is an important thing to cherish. They are there and constant when family isn't.

It's ok to have an escape place. Just make sure I make reality a priority first.

It's easy to judge harshly when I stay within my own feelings about things and people.

Lastly, it's ok to cry. We all do, but there is so much to smile about as well.

I've learned that even when it's scary that I can take risks and that it's worth it.
 
Make time for fun. Put in the work it takes to make sure that you have things to look forward to.
 
I realize that I can sometimes spread myself too thin, and no one benefits from that.
Everyone deserves to be acknowledged and not forgotten.
 
That it is not unwise to love yourself. Confidence is the key to building a castle out of sand. Even if it spreads out one day, I should start again. I should not wall myself in. I should rather make every moment wallpaper for my bedroom and break free when it is done and settle somewhere.
 
That I am actually capable of loving again, which I thought impossible.
That I need to stop second guessing myself.
That I cannot fix what has already been done.
That I desperately need a new career.
That despite the dark days and nights, there is light at the end of the tunnel. I always thought someone switched the light off, but there's this girl and she switched it back on.
 
Oh and one more thing.

Up to now, one of the only things that can draw me from a panic and anxiety attack is my brother asking me ridiculously hard football trivia. Sounds daft but it makes me think.

Hey, sassy pants.

You're getting close to being able to pull me out. Even if it doesn't feel like it at the time.
 
I've recently learned that I love scuba diving & finding gold rings with the metal detectors

L:rose:
 
I make great cocktails. Blood Mary especially but not specifically.
 
Also that I have more insight into humanity than into individual persons. :confused:

two questions.... #1 so that's where you went? Did you get what I sent? I knew. I tried. I did.

#2 what's bigger than Everest? cause that feels huge too. ... your cwtches are already the cure for me. nods.

Yeah... that's where I went.

And there are multiple Everests. And they all stand to be overcome.

I already know myself, however I do learn something new everyday and learn about people every second of every day of every year for the rest of my life
