I'm at one of those in between places, moving on from what I thought I wanted and toward what I really want. I need to learn to shut off all those old tapes that tell me what I want is unrealistic and I don't deserve it.
LS, I feel like I've been in one of those places FOREVVVVEEERRRR....hugs to you, I get it totally!
It is so hard for me to ask for something different/better--I always think "well, what you got is more than a lot of
other people got, so just shut up and be grateful!" Or I assume that somehow I'm capable of living with or doing things that I would think are totally unacceptable for anyone else to live with or do, b/c somehow I'm not worthy of anything more.
"It's OK, it's fine, I can handle it"--are those words really familiar to anyone else here?
