Inflatable Sheep

Just finished re-reading all of my diaries. What an experience. Some things stay the same, some things always change. Cliche enough for you?

I found that I deal with basically the same three issues all my life: sex, weight, and *** (sorry, can't be more specific there). Would like to have the rest of my life to not deal with sex, weight, and *** as I've already done my time, but those issues may be one of those things that are in the ‘stay the same’ category.

I now look back at my life like thin layer upon thin layer of experience. I'm so glad I matured, smartened up, and quit taking crap from people.

I learned that my view of how I really, really wished the world / people to be clashed frequently with how the world / people really, really are.

To my dismay, I'm a waffler, a looker of both sides--one day supporting this side, the next day supporting that side.

I discovered I have gut instincts but don't always listen to them. Without fail, my gut instincts were always right. I should listen more.

People come and go in my life. I can't control that. It has taught me to treasure and love them while I still have them.

So, I know where I've been. I know where I'd like to go.

Main Lesson Learned: Life is a struggle, but you don't have to live it that way.
