I spend a lot of time wondering why everybody else is happy and today I finally figured it out. Its because it never occurs to them not to be. Something a long way back must have given me the impression that I had no right to be that everyone else could be but I couldn't because I wasn't good enough. Isn't that completely crazy? But let me tell you that attitude has kept me from taking jobs maybe even keeping out of good relationships and I've been a lot of time looking at other people thinking but they arent perfect but they still have x,y and z. I never expected to be writing that anyplace today!!! But I'm glad to have found the space to write it!! I’ll tell you what i do.

I left my job and career in finance two years ago to pursue a career in acting. I trained at drama school but found that I hated the lifestyle when I graduated. The long resting periods between jobs was awful. I cant shake off my regret at my desicion however. I just cant do it. I had a great job that paid huge amounts and that door is closed to me now for various reasons. How do I move on? Thanks for your words.

( Just gave away my age didn't I) Great song....great Post. Read it twice just so I could hear the song again. :) Michael, Thank you for your honesty. I think you are right on about your observations. The abuse part is true for me too. And if you go through your life not wanting to be a victom but a survivor, then you spend your life climbing up on the rocks. The mountain looks like it's too high and then one day you look down and it's hard to believe you've come that far...one rock at a time. And I'm glad you didn't delete...we are all climbing together. Have faith in your words..Somebody needs to hear them. <em>Wendi Kelly's last blog post..<a href='http://wendikelly.wordpress.com/2008/05/13/balancing-baloons/' rel="nofollow">Balancing Balloons</a></em> Dave,

I couldn't agree more. In a reverse way of thinking, I've had to stop thinking about regrets. I was using them to waste time and energy that is better used to improve my future. That is where your post led us anyway, so maybe it is the same thinking. I've had a lot of experience changing habits having been an alkie, pot head and cigarette smoker most of my life. It sure feels good to get it all out of my life but as Michael was mentioning, then there are the core issues to work on. We are all works in progress and that's the beauty of it all. May we never stop.
