Hire the handicapped - they're funny to watch.
I have begun to feel comfortable in my own skin.
I hate how selfish this sounds, but I've come to realize that I need to put myself first. Not all of the time, which would constitute an asshole, just the majority of the time. I've spent the majority of my time and energy on other people, which is not a bad thing, except when it makes no difference and it wears me out. A while ago I reached the point where I was spending all of my energies on others, completely disregarding myself, and I paid for it - physically and mentally. You don't know how depleted you are until it's too late.
I am still happiest when I am doing things for others, and I probably always will be, but I suppose it's worth more if it's rationed. It's worth it to me.
As a result, I may not be quite as good of a person as I used to be. However, c'est la vie. I don't really claim to be a good person anyway. I'm quite evil at times, and enjoy it.
For example - half an hour ago I saw a little boy with crutches standing on the sidewalk, he couldn't have been more than six, and I burst out laughing.
