The Holidays

So, it's about that time. Time for family, for presents, and for me. . .time for introspection. I think about my life now, and where I'm at, and if it's where I want to be at, or if I'm doing what I want to be doing. Basically, am I happy, and if not, how can I be happy

Family's always an adventure, and it's definitely admirable that you are trying to have a better relationship with them. It's especially hard to strengthen relationships with parents. For so long they told you what to do and when to do it, and now they have to take their hands off, and let you do as you please. It has to be bizarre.

Work is one of those things that you have full rights to be up in the air about. It's not like with previous generations where you work at a job for 40 years. Most people don't stay at a job for 6 months, let alone 6 years. I think we've been trained to find what we want in a job, not just what we can practically have from that job.

I also understand completely what you mean about not wanting to have to watch what you eat constantly. For me, I couldn't imagine giving up the food I love because it has too many carbs or something. It just makes me think of the persimmon diet that Margaret Cho talked about.

I am glad to hear that it's been a great year for you! You deserve it!

Thanks! I am really happy; it's just so nice to finally feel like I'm the one in control.
