Sponsor |  digits | Aug 2, 2007 7:04am | I know that's true DW. I have seen you do it. You have a lot of respect and are very self-aware. I appreciate that quality. I appreciate how we can all be so multi-faceted but yet still maintain that baseline of self-awareness...knowing to whom we're speaking, how we're perceived [or at least knowing we may be perceived in a certain way] and so forth. Maybe that's what makes us serenity seekers.
I've never known a self-absorbed person [not selfish. self-absorbed. selfish is good in my life view. self-absorbed is negligent of others.] who was self-aware. I wonder if they're exclusive. I *call* myself self-absorbed when I am in pain...even then I am self-aware [of how i am perceived and] aware of others but at that point I don't give a bleep bleep! LoL |

That's one thing. We can have times when no one says a word for days and days. And when we get back together, it's just like old times. That's real friendship. Even though we're friends who have never met in real life.
Amazing how the energies of people reach so far. Through thoughts, words, anecdotes shared from our "real" lives. I do feel blessed for meeting some lovely people here. Even though I get frustrated with SU sometimes. It's the members that make it the place it is.
As for being selfish..that is something I have learned in the last year that is okay to be sometimes. I had given every ounce of me to my work and my family that I was left a shell of a woman. So much so I took 18months off work to get my shit together.
Now I take time for me. Even if it's stopping for coffee at this place I adore for half an hour on my way home from work. Just those few minutes to be me. |
