But then again, I guess most "seasoned" folks will undergo the process you're living at some point of their lives. Mine took place between 2005 and 2007 - I went through Introspection, Demolition, Self Pity, Retrieval (of the good things in my life) Adoption (of other people's teachings - mainly my father's)Streamlining, of thoughts and feelings, just kept the ones I find useful, including rage -yep, rage is quite a good feeling once you master it, it's like carrying a 12 gauge around, people tend not to mess with you, once they realise that the messing with you can be a painful experience, and reached what I could call Stage 3 of MySelf: Basically a no nonsense, straightforward, take it or leave kind of bloke.<br />Nope, I´m not peachy all the time, nor am I sulking and depressed.

Yummy... <br /><br />You'll soon realize that most of the crabs are mostly your own creation. Once you figure out why you gather them, you'll find out how to avoid it.<br />Abrazo!Passerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12403389774872297741noreply@blogger.com
