do the things that make me happy without worrying about what other people think

This is totally worth doing! And it gets easier with time. I’m not an expert at it yet, but life is a lot sweeter just doing things that make me happy.

I have found that i can do this easier to people that really don’t know rather then to family members, i tend to put them first and never worry about myself. will that always be hard to change?

I did it. I said something that eveyrone in band will criticize me for. Some people will even go as far as hating me. It’s exciting doing something because you want to even if it’ll be looked down upon by a majority of others.

I try so hard all the time to balance spending between obligations, and stuff the significant other needs, and often I don’t get myself stuff because it just doesn’t seem important. But I was having a bad depression jag and so I got myself snacks just for myself and no one else, and didn’t even think about sharing them! (Ok, I got one item for the SO, but that’s all!) And then I got 4 cds which I’ve been either wanting for a year or more, or wanting since they came out. Tomorrow I will gloriously turn UP my stereo and shake my tail feathers while organizing up my room!

Even though my mom disagreed, hubby and I took the plunge and bought our first home.

Now that it’s fact, my mom is all enthusiastic.

So see, ignoring other people is GOOD. LOL

there were Krispy Kremes in the kitchen yesterday at work. I really, really wanted one. So I had one. (YUM) This may not seem like such a big deal, but I work in the fashion industry and on my floor, there is only one acceptable way to eat a donut. Cut it in quarters and share. Then skip your lunch.

Well, screw that. I ate that whole donut.
