There is still a way to go before you become a narcissist, and maybe it could be avoided altogether. How about just feeling good about being you. How about… making peace, total peace with all that you are. Am I now an idealist? I like the idea though. In this tough world, with cruelty and all, if you have at least YOU at all times on your side, anywhere and everywhere.

December 28, 2015 at 8:02 pm #90830AnonymousGuestAnd good luck with your new year resolution to lose 1000 mg. I didn’t weigh myself since Jan 2014. I will not weigh myself unless a gun is pointed at me and even then I will have to verify it is loaded before I step on the scale. i am terrified. But I digress. Good luck on the 1000 mg (1 gram). You can do it!
Joking Jack. By the way, on the way to and from Seattle your name appeared by the freeway in big red letters again and again. Jack. Jack. Jack.
And in small letters underneath “in the box” Jack in the Box is a chain burger place, nowhere where I live but on the way to Seattle. So you came to mind.

December 28, 2015 at 8:23 pm #90832jockParticipantI guess the 1000 mg joke was as weak as wet water. The sad clown underneath in fact wants to lose a lot more weight to see his self-esteem skyrocket to new heights!!
December 29, 2015 at 7:53 am #90846AnonymousGuestI didn’t think it was a weak joke. I happen to be familiar with the metric system, but someone who is not may think of course that one thousand of anything is a lot.

December 29, 2015 at 8:30 pm #90880TriangleSunParticipantAnita, I think the most important thing is that you realize that you did someone wrong. Their forgiveness would be icing on the cake, but you have to make the cake first. I think accepting your mistake, learning from it and forgiving yourself tramps everything else, even if you are not forgiven by the person you hurt. This might sound simple, but it isn’t. There are many many people out there who go through their life without realizing how much they hurt others even if you call them out on it. It boggles my mind how they don’t feel bad, but they don’t. It’s a terrible way to live a life.
By the way, I didn’t realize you’re from Seattle. It’s my favorite city! Been trying to move out there but I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to handle the gloomy days 🙁
December 29, 2015 at 8:41 pm #90881AnonymousGuestDear TriangleSun:
Thank you so much for your post above. I like it. It is helpful for me to read that others hurt others but will not see it even if you call them on it. I didn’t think about it in context of my guilt expressed on this thread. Yes, I do realize it was hurtful, that I hurt… I totally regret it, and I did not repeat it. I would go back, do a lot so to go back and change it.
Thank you again. I am not from Seattle although I was there the other way. I live an hour or so north of Seattle. Moved to WA in 2013. I like the gloomy days (where I live as well). I love winter because it gets dark early. Do not like summer because it gets dark at 9 pm or so! Anyway, you are thinking about moving to Seattle, really? Let me know if you do… I think you mentioned in the past hiking in Europe. I know hikers, a group of heavy duty hikers in Seattle. Maybe you could get together.

December 30, 2015 at 9:18 pm #90988TriangleSunParticipantAnita, the outdoors is exactly why I want to move to Seattle! I hike all over US but Seattle area’s been very special. It’s a big city with a small town charm at least that’s how i feel it. I love the mild and sunny summers and the beautiful colors of fall. I love the greenery and fresh air; the forests and the abundance of state parks. And the ocean… the beautiful and rugged NW coast… Can never get enough. You really live in one of the most beautiful states 🙂 I’ll either move there or i’ll just keep visiting 10 times a year like i do now ha ha. I’ll definitely let you know if i get out there!
December 31, 2015 at 2:05 am #91024humourParticipantPraying helps me as well. These videos by Ajahn Brahm, a Buddhist monk are very nice and he is very witty as well. Happy New year to everyone and may all of us release past pains and usher in new hopes and joys 🙂
