We all have some of that.
I feel ya.

I believe it is okay to be selfish, to want more for yourself, to want more OF yourself, that it is okay to check yourself out in any reflective surface you find as you walk, wander, stroll... YOU are only going to find someone worth it IF you think YOU are worth it... YOU will only DO what you need to do to get you where you want to be IF you think that reflection is worth all the sweat, anger, angst, frustration... BUT the caveat is and always will be... be careful about what you ask for because there is always going to be a trade off... Here's an example...
what woman here would love to be dating a fireman? fitness level off the charts, brave, strong, the trade off? shift work... how many days will you be living without him, how many calls a day will you be worried about him? ... and how many years before an insidious disease finishes him from all the toxicity he is exposed to every time he heads to work?
Carpe Diem... IF you don't start today if you have NOT started yet? what are you waiting for? Are Ya'll aware that the earth was just missed (cosmically speaking) by another asteroid? when is too late too late? our lives are such fleeting and fragile constructs... it is simply amazing that people drop in here to express to complete strangers things they dare not share with the people they love... when by the very nature of love should we NOT trust those we love with those deep dark feelings above what a stranger might think?
Sometimes we get lost in ourselves, and end up wondering what the people we love think about us.. instead of simply finding that person... taking their hand looking them in the eye and asking...or telling... or just reconnecting. So...
I confess that for everyone here I wish they would spend an hour today... thinking about someone they love... and WHY... then draft an email, or a real letter to that person... your husband, your wife, your mom, dad, sister, brother, children... put it in an envelope and seal it... address it to you and tuck it away...
Love is NOT something we wait to receive... it is something we try to give every day... do that... and the person you see in that reflection will never feel lonely...and will never feel guilty about being just a little selfish.

Hugs my friend, we all have these moments. It shall pass!2 -

((((((((((HUGS))))))))))! I confess that I do want this to sound like a boo hoo woe is me confession because we all go through hard times & we all have a necessity, as social beings; to vent. You're a glorious woman, whom always tries to help other's; with their difficulties here but it's also okay for you, to deal with your own hardships here as well!1 -

I often feel like this. It's discipline (for bettering myself and not ending up with health problems I can avoid if I work at it) and my super awesome martial arts skills that get me through these days/weeks/months.
