chasing the sun

I am a skeptic – I admit it. I don’t easily accept anything anyone tells me and I question everything. I don’t see how you could not be. Yes, I have trust issues, but I think it makes sense not to throw trust around haphazardly. I don’t trust very many people. I don’t even trust some of my own family members, which I think is wise and you would too if you knew them.

I just heard on the radio about some women [that's WOMEN plural - as in "more than one"] in a Kansas City apartment complex who had to be hospitalized after paying to be tattooed by a door-to-door tattoo salesman and his homemade needle which has been described by the women as being “a pin wrapped in black electrical tape and fishing line.”

Um….yeah.

Discernment may be a gift for some, but most of us have to work at it so we can try to avoid making huge mistakes that we will regret forever. Though, not all regrets are worthless. I think having some regrets makes you appreciate the successes in your life.

I spend too much time trying to avoid mistakes, but I think my inclination to over-think and question everything is part of my charm.

A friend recently told me that she thinks I am most afraid of becoming all the things that I don’t like about my mother and I definitely think that is an accurate deduction. But now I don’t know what to do with myself. It’s like I’ve made it this far figuring out who I’m not, but I still really don’t know who I am, you know, what I’m for in this life?

Maybe I’ll find that person in law school…if I make it to law school…if I even get accepted! I have to go fill out some applications.

Peace out!
