I know I have been rather quiet around here of late..
Its all down to guilt..
Stupid stupid guilt.
I feel guilty for my current success in life.. guilt for my life working out so fantastically right now.. the feeling that people will think "oh, shes so fine now, she can't understand"..
Its hard to remember my struggles sometimes.. hard to remember the fight.. and hard to remember what words helped me..
I want to be proof that things CAN work out.. but I don't know WHY things have worked out for me!
My new job starts on Thursday.. its scaring me, and I really want to live up to expectations..
Oh so many emotions!!
So just know I am reading, and I am here behind you all, sending you all ove and strength and good good thoughts..

> Stupid stupid guilt.I don't know, I think your guilt is pretty clever, finding someone who would give it a good home this way. ;-) After all, there are plenty of people out there who would have sent it packing already...

Don't you dare feel guilty! Speaking only for myself, I *want* you to be successful like this, for so many reasons I can't think of them all! Aside from being able to say, "Miss Diana Prince has turned her life around, so can I," there are a lot of much more selfish reasons I want you doing well -- not least is that you're so thrillingly chuffing when you're doing so well. You make me laugh, and giggle, and feel oh-so-good inside.
And you read more, so you can recommend more to me!

> Nikki xxxI will treasure the "ove" you send me. And I will always treasure you and our correspondence.
Without any Shadefreuden. I will not feel better for your misfortune. I will feel much, much better for your good fortune.
Just, don't be too quiet. It's always such a joy to hear from you.

Ditto also, Nikki. I haven't been on the computer most of the summer, so this is the first post I've read now. Woo Hoo for you.
I love you & must say (in a loving & not-critical way) YOU SILLY BILLY - no need to feel guilty. It's wonderful for someone who's feeling poopy to read that someone they love or like or respect or all of those, is doing well!
If it can happen to you, it can happen to others too & it is good for us all to know that.
You Go Girl - enjoy every bit of it & try not to let your mind lessen your enjoyment one little bit by pushing guilt forward.
I once read that GUILT is a useless emotion. I rather agree with that!!!
love ya big-much, Kath
