"We don't always know what makes us happy. We know, instead, what we think
SHOULD. We are baffled and confused when our attempts at happiness fail...We are
mute when it comes to naming accurately our own preferences, delights, gifts,
talents. The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even
strangled, by the voices of other people's expectations. The tongue of the
original self is the language of the heart."
Julie Cameron
"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. ...I want to know what you
ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing."
Oriah Mountain Dreamer
"Let me listen to me and not to them."

I do believe in being myself..and since I realize how far from perfect I am I don't beat myself up over my mistakes or "lessons" .
part of me realizes that I leave myself open by being too trusting. On the other hand ..I honestly do not believe people go out of their way to hurt me - intil push comes to shove.. not saying that I agree with certain choices they made.. but realizing that they are as imperfect as me. :)
