There Is No Act more Wretched than Stealing...

I always figured I would be faced with some sort of tough decision. That had to be something out there more life changing than if I was going to have roast beef or turkey in my sandwich today. People don't do what's good for them. But I really wonder why that is. If it hurts us, why do we do? Why do we continue to follow routine that only causes us

I'm going to read this, I really am... I'm determined too despite the onslaught of unparagraphed text :P

It will be tomorrow though, waking up in 4.5 hours for work... go me!

I feel like I know the place your in... Like I told ya a while ago, just make a decision, if it was a bad one: oops, your bad, you'll do better next time. At least you moved in a direction you felt was right at the time. What seems like a long shot I'm going to use the teachings of Claudio with "There's no world for tomorrow if we wait for today" :P
It touches on a couple things you mentioned: holding out on expressing how you feel's never good as I'm sure your experiencing. The other is what I was always told when I was in a rut, and that was to just do something. Doesn't really matter what, but once something is started everything else will begin to find its place.

you could always do s'more work on the Rise Against video ;) I've started to put my mind back in the space and we have to work quickly once we're back to get that video done!

I don't think I can begin to respond to all this, but I wanted to say a few words anyway. I guess all I really have to say is that I'm not worried about you. You're on the right track, and the fact that you think about all this so deeply is a good sign. It means you're allowing yourself to feel what needs to be felt. I know you hold in too much, and I'm glad to see you venting, even if you feel guilty doing it.

I think it's important to always let yourself feel. It's unhealthy to deny yourself your own thoughts. No matter how guilty or angry or sad something makes you, just feel it. That's essential.

Oh, and you are worth so much. I know how tempting it is to go running back in fear, thinking that you don't deserve better or that maybe you won't find it, but you don't need to do that. You're amazing and if you truly want something, you'll get it. Allow yourself to be joyous, vibrant, and thankful and you will attract great things in life. That's the truth, I promise.

It's a curious thought to wonder how much longer you can make your doll dance, however, the question would be why are you making the doll dance instead of you?

To make mistakes and learn is all part of it. It's up to you to figure out how things will and can be changed into something new. Surely there will be a guilt, but how long must that stay?

When surely everything is meant to be broken, do you know who you are?

You are so awesome, Dina. Follow your heart! Your mama is really nice and I loved that Kite Runner quote. I never really got to finish the book, but that quote really stuck with me because I really try to live by it. It's pretty inspiring.

This entry was pretty inspiring, too.

"You can always change things no matter how old you are. you can always start making the right decisions. it's never too late. it's not for anyone. do you understand that? you can mess up all you want. make the same mistake over and over again. it's up to you when you finally decide to make things right. stop hating yourself for your past and start doing something for yourself so you can be happy with the person you are and will become. stop using the past as an excuse."

That was really, really helpful to read... it was like almost obvious advice, but it was really sincere and deep. You're such a good person, Dina Al-Zebra! We gotta get all fancied up and go to dinner!!
