A very dear friend of mine and I were discussing life as we usually do and this question came up:


Are you truly happy with the person you are ?


If not What would you change?


Would you be willing to start those changes today to make you the person you would truly be happy with?


Just some easy thoughts for the day??? LOL

Are you truly happy with the person you are ?


I want to say an emphatic yes, but I can't really. I try to be the best person I can be. But there is no doubt been times that I haven't been exactly what I should have been.



What would you change?


It's hard to say. I would like to say that I would just need to concentrate on being the person I know I can be. But my mind is always wanting to do and experience all that it can.



Would you be willing to start those changes today to make you the person you would truly be happy with?


Yes, I would have to say it is a daily endeavor. But it wavers back and forth constantly.

Maybe you can go to Splash Country by yourself. What a great place that would be to people watch..... I don't like to shop.....

Yes, I am happy with the person I am. We can always make changes for improvement. I would like to lose some weight, but I've been overweight since I was a teenager and have gotten used to it. I would like to be healthy, but I have several chronic illnesses that aren't going away any time soon. So I strive to be as healthy as I can and live with them the best I can. I have demons and ghosts from my past that I'd like to finally put to rest. But overall, I am happy being me. It took me until my 40s to say that.


I'm working towards making changes in my life. I have recently started going to a gym, which I couldn't do while I was working. My goal is not to lose weight, but to get exercise and make myself healthier. I'm getting medical care for my major illness so that I can feel better. And while I'm not seeking therapy I am returning to keeping a journal again. I wrote in journals for years and then stopped when I caught my ex-husband reading my journal (he was looking for evidence that I was cheating on him. When he couldn't find it he threw the journal at me. I stopped keeping a journal then, but have had major urges to begin writing again).

Leave it to you to start such thought provoking thread.
Ok here goes.

>>>Are you truly happy with the person you are ?
The question to be asked is are you happy with the life you lead? I like who I am, but am not always please with whats around me. There are some wants and desires that may never be fulfilled. But I am happy with who I am from many perspectives. I believe I have a good heart and a great sense of humor. I can laugh at myself and laugh at the world.
My down fall is I am a lover of life and a passionate person. I am a pleasure seeker. The down side, its not totally socially acceptable. So I don't always admit it. Take sex for instance there are things I've posted that would never admit to anyone else. The anonymity
brings out a persona. Which sometimes creates an internal conflict, to most who know me I am very conservative. While an idealistic me would be far more liberal. Hence an internal conflict.

>>>If not What would you change?
So as a lover of life and pleasure seeker I often over indulge. (I'm sure LR you could wip me into shape) So I would look to become more disciplined. Ah but would not that change who I am? Could I stand up and say I am what I am.. Hm it's not just about me anymore is it? But who I am is cognizant that my actions effect many more than me...

>>>Would you be willing to start those changes today to make you the person you would >>>truly be happy with?
There are some steps I am trying to take. Not ready to discuss just yet.

Hope you get a kick out of my ramblings.
