I am Me....Hear me snore
This post might come across as a bit selfish but it is whats going through my head at the moment.
I think I am a well balanced and content individual. I haven't always been so but I am now. Part of the reason I felt inclined to post this is that the vast majority of the journals I read tend to be dominated by what I term 'angst' - it's a vast generalisation but thats what I do :)
Anyway, I can understand to an extent why this is so - when life is going normally - i.e. not shit and not spectacular just bimbling along, we don't feel the need to post anything on LJ, and lets face it loads of journals saying 'things are ok today' would get tired very fast. However I came to the conclusion that it has been a good few years since I have felt overwhelmed by life in any way shape or form. There are a lot of reasons for this but the main one would have to be the fact that I've been on the planet a fair wee while now and after a while you learn that things do tend to work out over the long run.
I've had my share of shitty stuff happen to me and had to graft pretty hard to get to where I am but overall I've enjoyed my life and still do. Course a large part of that is being realistic about who I am and accepting who I am and being content with who I am. Don't get me wrong - there are things I need to change about me but they are slowly but surely changing. I'm content with who I am now because I'm content that I'm on a journey and the me in the now is different from the me in yesterday and also different from the me that will be in tomorrow.
I suppose what this ramble is trying to achieve is to give some hope to those that are feeling trapped in a pit at the moment. Things do change and overall they tend to work out in an OK way. Also whatever doesn't kill you does make you stronger, trust me I know.
In short, I'm content with me and my life and I hope all of you can get to that place too.
