I think I'm a lot like you. I don't like to lean or rely on anyone. But having someone to be a sounding board isn't really asking for sympathy. Sometimes they can see an agle you can just because they're outside of the situation, ya know?
Yeah, then I would've over-slept! And when I woke, I'd have been distracted from getting into the shower. No time for latte & 10 minutes LATE for work!
Got up extra early without the alarm. Got in the shower before the roomie. Even had time to stop for a mocha latte... & still got to work 10 minutes early!
I have a tattoo on my left hip. Got it for myself for my 18th birthday. I went through a period of regret, in my 20s. All I kept think of was being in a nursing home & the nurses having to bathe me. I could hear them saying, "Look at that tattoo! She must've been a wild one!" But I've grown to appreciate it again & even want to get it touched up, as it's faded through the years. I'm also proud to say I got no stretch marks during my pregnancy, so it didn't get "deformed".
As far as piercings, I have 3 holes in 1 ear & 2 in the other. I've wanted to get my belly button pierced for quite some time now. Now that I've lost the weight, I may just look into it!
I agree. I got married the first time because I was pregnant & my grandmother asked when we were getting married, as she cried. I wanted to "do the right thing", which turned out to be the WRONG thing.
I've had 2 opportunities since. But I'm not as young as I was back then. And hind-sight is 20/20. I want to make sure the next time is the RIGHT time. I don't want to make a second mistake. I'm gonna leap with my eyes wide open, or never leap at all.
Great explanation, JB!!! I couldn't have said it better, myself! Everything happens for a reason. And how much richer we are for having experienced certain things. It forms us into the people we are.
In times of trouble...
I learned that the HARD way!
