make changes, have a do-over?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;why is it so rare to find someone who really and truly accepts themselves just as they are?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;not that i think there is anything wrong with self-improvement. i'm the queen of it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;i've read every self-help book i can get my hands on and i'm constantly wanting to change something about myself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;why?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;what's so wrong with me just the way i am right this very moment?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;what really and truly needs to be changed?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;are the issues i have actually real and valid? or do i just make them out to be something so i can have something to 'work' on? something to 'fix'?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;it's such a fine line to find that balance of loving ourselves right now but also taking the time to take care of ourselves and do things that might bring about some positive change. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;if and wherever it may be needed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;do we also get so used to being a certain way? do we get used to those negative emotions and habits so they are naturally so much easier to fall into? even if it's not the way we want to be and we know what is best and healthier for us.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;maybe i think too hard. i KNOW i worry too much. for some reason i always think that i HAVE to be stressed about something even though that's just silly. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;ah...maybe i just need to lighten up.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5537619911968773157-8818647840065717234?l=deliciouslydaisy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deliciouslydaisy.blogspot.com/feeds/8818647840065717234/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5537619911968773157&amp;postID=8818647840065717234' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5537619911968773157/posts/default/8818647840065717234'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5537619911968773157/posts/default/8818647840065717234'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deliciouslydaisy.blogspot.com/2008/10/fix-me.html' title='Fix Me'/><author><name>daisy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06860917695928698852</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n8D6QeAjpXg/SQI5E0GYe8I/AAAAAAAAAAM/YW71ULRbulc/S220/LJ-green+spirals.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5537619911968773157.post-41733556979613347</id><published>2008-10-24T17:37:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-10-24T18:20:19.042-04:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='writing'/><title type='text'>The Write Girl</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;here i sit...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;it's autumn and i'm beginning another on-line journal. on a completely different site then previous. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;it's time to completely break-free. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;yet clear away those cobwebs that have been wrapping themselves around my fingers and get back to some journaling. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;just writing for the sake of writing. not concerning myself with who is reading it or how they are reacting to it. not having to pussy foot around anything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;just write. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;let my fingers click and clack away on the keyboard. let whatever comes out, out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;click, click, click. tap, tap, tap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;maybe somedays i'll write something really inspirational. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;and then...maybe not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;but here i am, just a gurl and her keyboard, writing away with her random thoughts as her guide.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5537619911968773157-41733556979613347?l=deliciouslydaisy.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://deliciouslydaisy.blogspot.com/feeds/41733556979613347/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5537619911968773157&amp;postID=41733556979613347' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5537619911968773157/posts/default/41733556979613347'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5537619911968773157/posts/default/41733556979613347'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://deliciouslydaisy.blogspot.com/2008/10/write-girl.html' title='The Write Girl'/><author><name>daisy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06860917695928698852</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_n8D6QeAjpXg/SQI5E0GYe8I/AAAAAAAAAAM/YW71ULRbulc/S220/LJ-green+spirals.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
