Years ago I used to think everyone around me had a better life... I was on my own with three young kids and couldnt see a way out of poverty and loneliness.. I thought all the married people I knew had wonderful lives and wanted to be like them. I wanted to fit in and party with the popular women around where I lived. but Im a quiet person and when I got the chance to mingle with them I found it very stressful , just trying to keep up and buy nice clothes like them that I couldnt afford.. I just wasnt being me but wanted to be liked and popular.......it took me a long time before I realized that I wasnt like them.. I liked my own time . I didnt like parties.. I liked art , photography. outdoor walks.. soothing music.. I found myself and ditched some of the false people that I had so wanted to be around.. Sometimes outside the box isnt really what we need or wanted.. be yourself and dont feel pressured into being what your not..

Sounds like a pretty good life to me.

I'm married but no one should envy me. People don't know what I have to deal with and probably wouldn't believe it if I told them.
