Back to work

[Flora]

I so understand what you mean. I took the past week off from work and I only went to T and yoga classes (and today a kickboxing class!) and it was so nice to snuggle into the safety of my bed and my cat and not be responsible to anyone for days. When you say "be who people need you to be", what do you mean exactly? I think I know what you mean, because I feel the same way, but what do we REALLY mean? Why do we have to be who people want us to be? Why is being who we want to be not as acceptable? Is it because, speaking for myself, I just want to be taken care of? Or because I might be seen as crazy? I don't know.

Anyway, I had been feeling that life sucked a lot too and then I moved my body through exercise and it helped to get those internal chemicals flowing and I felt a little better. Also, in another way, I feel grateful that people rely on me and keep me out and about, because otherwise I think I'd shrivel away. Just some random thoughts. I hope it helps to hear that I've been going through some similar feelings.
