Here's one thing that I've learned, as cliche' as it may be...time heals all wounds. With each passing day comes new experiences and new perspectives on life...past and present. God never gives you more than you can handle. Just keep looking ahead more than you dwell on the past.

I was poor as a kid too and I feel like I owe it to myself to never live like that again. It isn't got the material things, but for the feeling of accomplishment.<BR/><BR/>My whole life, I was thought of as a kid of a single parent, I would never graduate college, have a decent job. There was a time when I actually believed it. I thought I was going to be a failure and I feared that. I feared being a statistic because even my family told me I was going to be nothing. Sad, I know. Now looking back, I have done what a lot of people didn't believe I could do...and that is reason to smile.<BR/><BR/>You will overcome your fears, I think it will just come in time. Feel accomplished though GIRLIE!

I could have used some information on facing fears myself. <BR/><BR/>Your fears are legit and well-warranted (there's a large percentage of us who share the same fear of being alone or not being "good enough"), and I agree with Rozie to some extent. <BR/><BR/>At the same time, I know you're the type of person who won't be able to just let go of the past.....that's a hard thing to do - for anyone. So you'll need to "Conquer" it first. Perhaps that needs to be your focus right now. Face and deal with your 'ghosts'of the past, and then your current fears should slowly fade away, because you'll then find that you are more comfortable with yourself, and where your life stands at the present. Nothing right now will be a "quick fix", and I'm sorry for that. Keep your chin up, and remember: Don't Sweat the Small Stuff :)<BR/><BR/>*hugs*Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09029119325290139063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952849078738905228.post-71884627423676055002008-01-30T21:52:00.000-06:002008-01-30T21:52:00.000-06:00Erin: Hang in their girl, I am a breast cancer s...Erin: Hang in their girl, I am a breast cancer survivor & I got myself thru it.

My opinion is get right with him and all else will fall into place the way he meant for your life to be. No I am not God, but I promise you will find peace where there is no peace and faith where it is lacking. <BR/>I will be praying for you!! I know it's hard to let go of how we were raised, but let the past be the past and focus on today and what lies ahead.<BR/>You are an amazing woman Erin, I love you!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-952849078738905228.post-69360531595586968422008-01-29T16:57:00.000-06:002008-01-29T16:57:00.000-06:00I don't want to get too corney or totally cheesy w...I don't want to get too corney or totally cheesy with you, but this came from the master. Tony Robbins.<BR/><BR/>In life we make decisions based on one of two things.<BR/><BR/>1) To Avoid Pain<BR/>2) To Gain Pleasure<BR/><BR/>Think about it. Every decision in life can be broken down to one of these two choices. A few months ago I realized I didn't lke who I was when I drank. And I drank a lot. Once I read that, I stopped drinking in that instant. I wanted to avaoid the pain I caused my loved ones and gain the pleasure of them enjoying my company. <BR/><BR/>Erin, you are an amazing, beautiful woman that is understandably a little unsure of herself. You can be anything you want. Make more decisions that Gain Pleasure then ones that try to Avoid Pain. <BR/><BR/>Everything will fall into place if you just let it happen, and stop wanting it to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
