@ headbang. You rock. Buggered if I know.

@ Nora, I know, I get into a self pitying hole of dispair sometimes. By sometimes I mean a lot.

@ Lori, thanks, your post is really positive and doesn’t make me feel so guilty about a lot of things. There are no right and wrongs in trying, really, are there.

@ 24atHeart, I think i gotta stop judging myself so much too. And be more secure, but I don’t really know how to do that. I hope it will come.

@ A freeman. I’m like 25 bozo, WAY old. but not as old as you. I guess I feel I should be doing more, what with the government paying for my education and then me saying “wait, I wanna be a bum!”. Yeah, getting on and living it. I don’t know why I have a problem with that. Maybe I’m too much of a control freak. I hope things are changing at the moment, that I’m growing up a bit and things are good.

Headbang is a riot.

The thing is, SSG, that you’re what, like 19? You’ve got so much time to sort all this stuff out. You’ve got a first class education under your belt and totally have the leeway to fuck around a bit and figure it all out. Try and enjoy it rather than spending your days trying to figure out the meaning of life. Just go and live it and chances are that life is going to dictate the terms anyway. Just ride along.

ahh … I do this sometimes too. Why didn’t I…? Shouldn’t I have ….? I do feel more secure with myself now than I used to. I realize my faults and flaws and I’ve also realized most of them aren’t going away. I still make goals for myself, I still try to improve as a person …. but I think I’m not as hard on myself as I used to be either.

The wonderful thing about having a blog is the fact that it’s yours…your feelings..your opinions…your thoughts…and it’s your given right to write what comes out of you…and you don’t sound like a twat. You sound like someone that is trying to figure things out for yourself.

I think we all live with regrets of things we did or did not do from the past. Now me, I live with many regrets of things I did and although I am thankful for what I learned in the experience of it, I wish to this day, that I could undo some of the choices I made. To be perfectly honest, I am jealous of people like you…people that did it “right”, that made good choices whether it was to please parents or because it’s just the way they were. I didn’t go to college. I did things very backwards in my life. There are years of my life that I was so messed up with having a good time that I hurt many people around me. I was extremely selfish. I can never take this back.

Now I am a continual work in progress…learning how to live by doing things the right way this time. Thankfully it wasn’t too late for me. Thankfully I lived through the hell hole I created to get to this side of life…many in my life were not so fortunate.

I think it’s okay that you don’t know what you want to do with your life. You are still young. It’s okay to take this time to search out your truth,your happiness and purpose for this life. It’s okay to have a lot of fun while your on this search. There is always a lesson in even this, the waiting, or the searching. All I can say is be true to yourself. Be authentic. Give yourself permission to live for you and not others. Give yourself permission to try things and fail…make mistakes and learn. You can’t change the past but you can change what you do today and tomorrow. The beauty in all of this is, it’s your choice and there are no right or wrongs in that…just lessons and growing pains and finding yourself….and if you haven’t done so already, fall in love with yourself!

First, thanks for your comments on my blog. Hope you are feeling better… when I am ill or recovering from being sick my brain tends to get a bit negative so you are allowed to post like this and of course, you can post anything you wish, it’s your blog

What’s the meaning of life? Buggered if I know.

Wait! That’s it! Buggery!

I discovered buggery, and never looked back.

Do I regret all the years I wasted in…what’s the opposite of buggery? Frontery? Let’s just say, in the closet.

Maybe. Maybe not. But I took it upon myself to make up for lost time.

Sounds like you are doing the same with Mr. C, SSG. It’s much more fun cruising with a soul-mate in tow, rather than cruising along trying to find one.
