I'm a Christian, right? Thus, I believe in an eternity in heaven, right? Thus, I believe I will have an ETERNITY to do all the things I really want/have a yen to do. Like bungee jump (with the added bonus of guaranteed no danger), learn to speak Italian, learn to cook Chinese, etc. It's a workable idea for me anyway. :mrgreen: Hey toots, this is what I realized a while ago.

But I used to be exactly EGGS-ACT-LEE like what you describe. And it led me down a path that resulted in my doing things I never, ever thought I do (also resulting in a healthy dose of self-loathing, I might add). I guess sometimes change requires you to hit rock bottom - even from the wrong side of a barred door - before you realize you're chasing the wrong goal. God, even remembering those days makes me kinda sick of myself. Anyway... Now, I don't worry at all. The person I was then seems so distant from the one I see in the mirror today. I don't have the money or the "things" I had then, but those things never filled the hole anyway. What I do have is a firm understanding of who REALLY cares for me and more time than I ever thought I'd have to enjoy them all. If you're interested in the details, think a change might maybe perhaps is something you want, or just want to call me a fucking idiot, you can check out my alter ego lifestyle here: www.freerangefamily.com Lastly, I sense a great deal of how I used to be in even the short entry you made today, and I hate knowing anyone else feels like that. So if you want to vent to someone who's past that road (as if you don't already have a hundred other people to whom you can turn), I'm here with an open ear.

"Things" like the Eiffel Tower, a house, monetary things, can always be bought. But as for your family...we're never guaranteed tomorrow, or for that matter, the end of today. MAKE the time to spend with them. I can remember being around your age & feeling the same, now my dad, my kid's Papa has been gone for 14 years. I didn't tell him I loved him enough or sit & just listen to him. If I knew then what I know now, I would have <i>made</i> the time. Britt, please learn from the mistakes of others & take time to smell the flowers, literally.
