Goals and Dreams

Apr 08, 2013 15:08

I've been thinking a lot about dreams lately. Mostly because Gabe posted lamenting that he is too old and too unattractive to have a webshow. It's not true. Ze Frank has a huge following and is in his 40's and I KNOW I am biased but even when trying to be objective, I do not think he is any more attractive than Gabe ( Read more... )

So weird that your "friend" is being such a downer :(

I think becoming a vet was a pretty big accomplishment! From all I have known of people having kids, you are pretty consumed until they are about age 3-4 and then you can let up a little. I was really happy when Mandy's kids got older and she started auditioning again and acting in plays. It is such a part of her and she had to let it fall by the wayside a bit. It is definitely not easy but she makes it work because she knows it's important to wh she is.

It is weird. I mean, I think to some degree he is kidding, but if he is, the joke got old. He has a 18 year old daughter and I have known him for over a decade, and he has often complained about how difficult children are. He doesn't even have full custody of her, I think he only has her on weekends or something (and that has been true the whole time I have known him ( ... )

Eh, if it wasn't one thing, it would be the other. If you had tried for a long time and not gotten pregnant you might have felt your life lacked purpose because you were unable to bear a child. You'd have to deal with personal demons either way.

From everyone I have talked to, all the wishes, hopes and fears they had before the baby turned into a reality, went out the window when the baby actually came because it was so different than anything they expected. They had no idea their kids could be so amazing in some ways, and had no idea they could be so awful in some ways. :)

For what it's worth, your life is not over. I am a mom. I am a vet. I was a vet first. I will forever now be a mom first, but I think I am hacking out a decent job a both. I have a 15 month old and recently now back at work. It's been good for both of us. I am constantly told by my clients (ironically, who screamed bloody hell when I went on mat leave) how hard it must be to leave him. Of course I miss him. But it's been good or both of us. He gets me, fulfilled and happy, instead of just getting me. Yeah, I don't spend a many hours a day with him as I used to. But I spend a lot more quality hours with him. Quality, not quantity ( ... )

omg i saw this person post some of this stuff on your page and he made me so angry!!!! i was like, he must be really close with her, they must be inside jokes, because otherwise this is super super rude of him. my opinion is that if you insist on maintaining a social media presence, you should be cognizant of how you appear on the internet to strangers. either hide everything, or make sure everything you post is something you think represents you well. i think it's the same as dressing appropriately for a situation and personal hygiene. if you leave your fb public and post inflammatory things or posts with a ton of spelling errors and curse words, it's the exact same thing as getting wasted and puking on someone's shoes the first time you go out with them. even if you are normally really nice. sometimes your facebook/twitter/whatever IS the first impression people have....so when i judge someone on their facebook i dont feel bad about it because 9 times out of 10 it's pretty close to who they are in rl, unless they are just naive ( ... )
