steps

May 25th, 2006

Rain. The raindrops tapping on roofs. Sun. A walk to the beach. It’s like two seasons in one day.

A great conversation with a friend made me try to refine some thoughts on growing up: I think the biggest lesson to learn, something that deems adulthood, is starting to do things for you and no one else. Not doing harmful things to spite someone else. Learning to take care of yourself, your health, your happiness. Learning to think you really are worth it. (sometimes I feel that so few of us do.)

Ask yourself some simple questions:
Am I feeling comfortable or uncomfortable?
Am I feeling happy or unhappy?
How am I alllowing myself to feel unhappy?
What am I allowing that isn’t making me happy?
Then ask yourself, What steps can I take?
