A burst of energy?

I go through spurts...growth spurts I guess you can call them. Where I can be totally happy for a while and then boom...I need a change or I start feeling stagnant. And then when I start feeling that way, I start thinking about my body and all those "feelings" come back and they start consuming me all over again. I hate that about myself. I want to

I think you should work in a 3rd world country. That'll make you happier in no time. That, or it will make you 10 times more depressed. Heh. One of my friends did Peace Corps for 2 years in Papua, New Guinea. She came back the most well-adjusted, high self-esteemed, self-loving woman I've come to know. It really puts a new perspective in you -- the one that allows you to see that other people struggle, and your struggle with self-image is perhaps much smaller than you may realize. I don't know. I would love to just throw you in with a group of Natives who are dealing with sexual abuse, neglect, and drug abuse. It would make you turn a 180 on your own life.

I think we all have those moments in life...every single one of us. We're all just dealing with different issues, so you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. It's all in the way you think about things...that and not letting things happen to you...or letting your motivation "come back". Sometimes you can't let your motivation pop up whenever it wants to. Sometimes you gotta push yourself extra hard and work a little more to get that motivation back.
I love pop-psychology in the morning!!

By the way, you look really cute in that dress!
LA LA LU!
