step one 16 months ago

so i think the first step for this goal is to be able to decide when things are difficult and when things are impossible.
im thinking about removing this goal from my list – ive held on too long to a situation because i didnt want to just give up when things were “hard”
when really things were impossible and were never going to get better. or at least not in the forseeable furture and hanging on as long as i did only made me miserable.
i dont see the point of hanging on just to hang on and not rid yourself of something. sometimes its just time to move on.
so i guess for now ill keep this goal – but i dont know for how much longer.
anyone want to try and convince me otherwise?

This has always been a tough one for me. I have anxiety issues and trust issues. So running has always seemed like the best option. But this time I didn’t run, even though I really felt I had to. I thought he didn’t love me anymore, so I thought that running away from the relationship would help make that pain go away. I withdrew from him and gaurded myself. But I stayed. And now I am so happy I did. :)

I haven't completely mastered this... 22 months ago

but I’m better at it, thanks in large part to a partner who is understanding and forgiving.



uncertain 23 months ago

ive come to the conclusion that i am completely uncertain what this means.
i am in a very difficult situation right now. and to exit the situation is one option.
what exactly are these “things” that get difficult. i don’t understand what i’m supposed to do.
i think perhaps this goal needs to be a bit more specific.



Temptation 2 years ago

It’s temptations that make things become difficult. Indeed I don’t lack the necessary courage to handle stuff or solve the problems myself. But the inward needs of finding a right balance is the thing I need to fight.

The secret to winning is to challenge myself 2 years ago

“Every time I fight the urge to run, it diminishes the fear a little bit. It never really cancels the fear of losing; I just have to keep challenging it.”
