with something, what do you struggle with and do you believe that some of these things are what keeps you from really succeeding. What one feeling would you like to get rid of if you could?

the economy has been a ***** lately. the feeling of never being debt free can be overwhelming to a lot of folks. it can lead to severe depression. depression is so depressing that i would have to say i wouldn't mind if that never comes my way

Hmmm
I guess, I struggle with myself..

I know who I am, but sometimes, I struggle with the fact that people want me to be more normal.

Hmm not sure what normal is, but obviously not what I am.

I struggle to stay me, to not let insecurities make me be what others want.

That I am getting older but dont want to grow up. Hm I dont mean in age, but I guess mentally, I am not interested in being serious or seeing anything bad around me..
Yep its immature and believe me i am told it often enough, but normally my life is very very happy and easy being like that.

Its not that I am not responsible, as i run a business, and have 6 children, Its just taht i dont want to see the bad around me or the bad in people.. I love my little happy world..

Hmm but it sems to bother others. and how I deal with things doesnt always make everyone happy.

The one feeling i would get rid of if i could... hmmmmmm , I guess it would have to be, feeling so yucky when peole I care about get hurt..

normal??

normal is a setting on a washing machine


Who defines normal?

Who are these people that want you to be more normal???

You are the one that has to 'deal with things' - if how you deal with things does not make others happy you really shouldn't go changing yourself to please them.

Don't change the Josie we've all come to know and love

And you wouldn't be you if you didn't feel yucky when others get hurt - that makes you you -- the one we love

it may sound harsh, but you are not responsible for how others feel or don't feel. you can't save the world, and would be foolish to try. you have been blessed with six little ones, and they are your concern.

welcome to life, live yours and damn the torpedoes. i get upset when i see two people meet on here and i am still getting shot down in flames day after day. does my frustration show in my posts. i quickly pick up my big dog snoopy boxers and keep posting in the hopes some lady hits me up. you got yours, be happy already sheesh btw i'm secretly happy for you both

Life has ups and downs and people struggle through it but what i struggle most with is health issues and 1 day i hope i feel better if doctors can ever help another thing i hate when friends hurt that i care for i try and look out for them as i guess thats in me as i use to be a bouncer years ago and help out people that way but sometimes i struggle with people that don't look and take in knowledge about life that is written by doctors i also struggle with my pillows at night lolllllllll to get the right way to sleep comfortable

Maybe i am the normal one and everyone else is abnormal

bummer have to learn to dodge those torpedoes.

Ok no more sooking, You know you lot are all fantastic, I have no idea why any of you are single..

Depression can be devastating.. I had a breakdown when I was 23.. I struggle with that mostly in the winter.. I definately know I need to be where the sun shines then! lol I've learned to ask for help with that if and when I feel I need it.. I've had 7 surgerys and 3 health issues I deal with but you pick yourself up and move on. I'm not ready to watch the world pass me by yet...

plenty of sunshine in texas (having you here would beautify the state)

This is a really good question. Makes ya think. My answer is restless.....

What one feeling would I like to get rid of?

I GUESS,,,that would be,,,my loneliness....

Anxiety over an unpredictable unforeseen future.

I agree with lookinaround Josie! Stay as u r! Ima goof too - always happy - love everyone - can't stand it any other way

but ya I also get accused of being unrealistic -WHATevah

but if u got rid of restless you might give up comin up north to go fishin

I know its so strange,
everyone loves us how we are..
But everyone thinks that we should see the world more realistically,
but then we wouldnt be who we are,
but someone completely different, Serious, sad, grumpy.

Hmmm, save up, come to Astralia and we can all have a mingle party.

That would be a very COOL vacation,,I could meet a few friends I have there,who I've always wanted to meet..YEAH...
but,,that would mean. I'd have to fly....

The Feeling of REGRET.

I hate myself recalling the moment and asking myself why did I?....,

So now in everything I do, I put my best on it so I will not feel this feeling anymore..,,,
