Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

There seem to be a lot of previous journal entries promising pictures, videos, etc... And a lot with "..." after every other word. It's actually amazing to look back on your written life to see how far you've come (and how far you still have to go </sappy s**t> wink . I'm certainly not where I thought I'd be in life, but then again I could never have really imagined it as it is now. I'm happy, would be happier if I had people close in my life, but happy nonetheless. I've worked hard, I've done the best I could, though I've made mistakes. I wish I would stop living in regret and remember the good times and things that I have done, but I have long been programmed to ignore them for fear of growing an ego and living in stagnation.

How do we find a true balance between the world and ourselves? To be selfless, yet take care of ourselves so we are still happy? Are you a bad person if the happiness of others is still not enough to make yourself happy?
