learning curve

Its been a while since my last "statement". Used to be that I was afraid of letting people inside to see the real me. These past few months have been quite hellish let me tell you. There's a theory/ idea in psychiatry that involves "holding up the mirror". Basically- being willing to look at one's self and examine ALL your flaws, weaknesses, and miseries. And dealing with them accordingly. Its not an easy thing to do because its a painful thing to do. But once you've done the work- and it IS work, then you can start to fix what ever is wrong with your life. You can finally make it what you want it to be. Then and only then can you hold other people accountable for their perception of you and how they act accordingly. (But first you've got to deal with the realization that you allowed these individuals to treat you a certain way and apologize to yourself for that(self)mistreatment.) I swear, I love the people in my life, but man do they make me want to have a CV drink! Life is a learning curve- some of us just hit it later than others. Long as you have patience with yourself, and you continually strive to get better, then enjoy the journey. (cause really- that phrase- life is a journey, not a destination- what they don't say is the "destination" really is death. think about it!?!)
