And I most definitely agree.<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, yes get married be happy, but if you aren't happy in yourself first you won't be happy after. Make sure you are marrying for the right reasons and not to give you purpose in life.SonnyVsDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165595160312889548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-15361088024643392362008-02-19T17:38:00.000-08:002008-02-19T17:38:00.000-08:00Sonny - yes, i see what your trying to impress upo...Sonny - yes, i see what your trying to impress upon me, and i appreciate it. I guess its just hard to accept sometimes that you are the only person who really controls you. It would be so much easier to blame some unseen force...i'm working on getting my head in that kind of space, ok?<BR/><BR/>Richard - i thank you muchly for that comment. I'd like to think i'm a wonderful woman, working on being even better. But i dont think the way i was parented has anything much to do with it. I suppose the ultimate decison wasnt left to me, it would have been more like me saying i really didnt want to go, i dont want to leave my friends, my comfort zone, and my parenst decideding that ultimately it was best that i didnt. My parenst have always encouraged me to seek out what makes me happy, what brings me joy and makes me a better person, whether it meant going to uni for an education, or working in a " lesser " job so that i could travel the world.<BR/><BR/>I love my parents and fully appreciate their impact on my life, i just dont think that in this instance they've done anything wrong.Amy xxoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829443038522374160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-88054352504122080172008-02-19T08:18:00.000-08:002008-02-19T08:18:00.000-08:00Wow, you were really blindsided by your friend Lau...Wow, you were really blindsided by your friend Lauren taking your place.<BR/><BR/>I can see how this became a decision you regretted intensely.<BR/><BR/>I think it also comes down to the type of parenting you received. Your parents should not have adopted a hands-off approach to this important decision and allowed you to make the final choice. They should have encouraged you to seek a better academic future for yourself.<BR/><BR/>It's not too late for you to get a degree, though.<BR/><BR/>I think your life would be vastly improved if you left your small town and moved to a large city. Find a better well paid position and study part time for a degree.<BR/><BR/>Find yourself a nice husband too. If you are happily married, you will feel your life has more purpose and you will be a happier person. Just choose a good husband.<BR/><BR/>I think you're a wonderful woman, Amy, with a lot to offer the world.<BR/><BR/>:)Richard Cattohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143030488851675036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574377801276999512.post-70844646108932938832008-02-19T05:56:00.000-08:002008-02-19T05:56:00.000-08:00i can't believe how much you've opened yourself up...i can't believe how much you've opened yourself up to this one. But this is exactly the kind of thing I am trying to impress upon you. Its your decisions, other people's decisions, everyone around you and their reaction to your decisions and the decisions that come from those reactions to those decisions that determine what happens to you (the development of a tsunami etc). NOT some pre-determined destiny that just needs to be played out, leaving us as mere pawns in a stalemate game of chess against an invisible (and unmoving) opponent.SonnyVsDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15165595160312889548noreply@blogger.com
