Happier now that I don't have to live like some studenty peasant and happier now that my business has started to take off.
To be content concerns me though, I perform better when I'm on a knife-edge with the my back against the wall - I relish under fear & pressure - I don't want to take my foot off the gas now that I may think that I am satisfied.
Well I certainly prefer mine to that of the elephant man. For life´s circumstances I would like to be in the skin of Scarlett Johansson, Christy Walton and Hillary Clinton.............but being me is ok too

Only now I am in my fifties. I am more confident, more self-assured. I know what I want in life, from people, from the hard work and what I have put in. When I was in my twenties, etc there was always a desire, somewhat in naivety, I guess, to always please others. To always be accepted and seek the approval of others is what was strived for when one is younger. There was always a feeling that, no matter how much one was attractive, intelligent, affable, one didn't measure up. There were too many comparisons and too much competition than one is interested in as one gets older.
As one matures, and one has sacrificed so much for others' demands and been accommodating (probably overly so) one realises that one can move heaven and earth for the whims and wishes of others and still ones misses out, still its never enough.
Now.... I will do as I please, I will satisfy myself..... and enjoy it! The selfish have had more than enough of what I can offer. I don't mean I will live my life regardless of others' needs but just that I am, for once, going to accommodate...... myself!
