My worst decisions were basedon allowing my emotions to rule when I didn't
have the experience and good judgement to know what the likely outcome would
be of those decisions.
I still allow my emotions to make my decisions for me ... I've always done
better with gut instinct than with trying to think things out. But since my
gut insticts are now informed with a certain amount of experience and the
judgement that brings ... my decisions have gotten better.
Make sense? *sigh* I didn't think so.

That totally makes sense! I am gearing up for the illustrious post-college
job search (I graduate in May). I can't decide if I want to move away or no.
I have lived in one place all my life, though I have traveled a lot. Part of
me wants a change of scenery, new people, etc. The other part is afraid of
homesickness, living alone, not making friends or disliking my job. And I am
seeing how small the jobs are and am plain terrifies I wont' find one at all,
at least not one that will let me live on my own without having to eat Beanie
Weenies every night for years. The decision to move is an emotion-based one
so far... if I feel restless I want to move. If I'm feeling comfy I don't want
to. And I have found emotions can be very false. Sigh.

As I entered adolescence it began to matter to me that I had never
jparticularly known "who I was", but the rest of the picture doesn't
fit the females of my family. It's an impressionable time, but those
things weren't impressed onus at home & I didn't find them attractive
elsewhere. I would have liked to be thinner (like my big sister, who
was smaller all around) but it didn't matter enough to starve myself.
Maybe if we had been watching TV and movies and reading "adolescent"
magazines, we would have become more typical.

True, abchan. I swear I knew every calorie/fat content of everything in high
school. I now have better, more imprtant things to think about.

Wow, that must really be limiting to her. Is she young (1st job?). My gut
feel would be to match each apology with something like "Please don't
apologize so much. . . " or something like that. Even if it gets to be a
burden to repeat.

She sounds totally insecure. I have a friend like that who apologizes all the
time too. It gets old, quick. Even if it's not her fault (whatever it is she
is aplogizing for). When we went of any kind of trips in high school with
groups, someone would always get in trouble/break something in the hotel...
she of course never did these things, but would offer to take the blame.
People take advantage of her selflessness a lot.

Ohhh dear God. I reread some of my postings. My views haven't changed
much, but... what alien entered my body to post such ranting? My bad! :)

artifact)

'sokay, you can still read the awful stuff I
posted, which sometimes quotes the
awful stuff she posted. A nice dose of
offal, either way.

Well, this was also three years ago. My views on the world have changed eight
hundred zillion times in that span, so I assume yours have too.

At my age, three years is nothing. I'm sure that I still hold any
incorrect views that I held three years ago.

They haven't changed, as much as I've changed how I convey them.
Though anyone who would make a point to uncover it all has too much
time on their hands.

Views grow and develop over the years. As time goes by, the basics of values
and views you got don0t seem to change much, but they do (to a certain extent,
and for some people further than for others).
The essence of these values and views will still be intact.
At least, it works that way with my views.
