It took me 34 years to figure it out. lol I finally came up with a game plan tho. Just have to stick to it and not let anything or anyone make me stray from it. In the long run it will make for a better friend, person, lover etc.
These threads are great cuz it just confirms that there are others in your boat and you aren't just rowing it alone. Thanks!
You read my mind, Pearl. This is exactly how I am feeling right now. Had somewhat of a revelation in May and have been trying my hardest to make changes and get me where I need to be. Have spent some time pedalling backwards since then, but I am still pushing forward.
The truth of life is that until you love yourself, you will make it impossible for anyone else to love you. Well............that's my truth anyway. lol
lol. mine is sorta complicated. My friend came on here originally and created the profile. She likes to drink Jack Daniels so...............Jackie. She was using my "naughty" tshirt pic and thought that I was a DD so she put Jackie DD. I ended up on here chatting more and just took it on. so.........................my name is Christa, but everyone calls me JACKIE. lol
I wish I could just practice what I preach. It would save a lot of heartache.
If it starts to feel wrong and your gut is screaming - just let go. You are usually right. If you keep holding on, you will only sacrifice your principles and end up a stranger even to yourself. Know your worth. That's my motto. Now I have to follow it.
