being_a_grownup
jenny enny dots I hate being a grown up. I want to explore this infinately huge place, but there is simply not enough hours or days or weeks, months or years. I simply cannot spend too much time here. I cannot my distracted from my goals. I must find discipline, structure and a way to enjoy what this place has too offer. But not too much. 040121

trixie means making your way for yourself and not feeling bad about getting what you need. it means loving yourself if no one else is, and then finding someone to do that for you. 040122

reue taking responsibility
paying your own damned bills
getting up on time
same for sleep
fun one weekend a month, two weeks a year
decipline in actions
making your own mistakes and then fixing (or learning how to) them yourself
choices
freedom and entrapment
self-sufficient
providing for your loved ones
being yourself and being what other need you to be
doing whats right
time and place for everything

dying embers finally understanding what you meant when you said what you meant. Knowing that this is how is it weather you like it or not and getting on with it. Letting the holes in your soul alone, because a holy soul is blessed. Finally realizing that not only is it not all about you but in the scheme of thigs you're almost nonexistent and still loving yourself enough to keep going. Loving just enough to let go and not give up. 040122

jenny enny dots hates being a grownup Is about having AT LEAST a full time job. And not being a kid who can waste hour after hour on forums. Every time I join one I am addicted. Then I quit cold turkey and don't go back. Then I join another one. Will this one be the same? I can't escape it's hold on me. It wants me back. 040122

jenny enny dots This is where I sit and feel guilty for blathering. This is where I can whine and complain. This started as my frustration corner. A place where I don't have to put on a cheerful face. I love to blather soooooooooooooo much, it's killing me. I don't want life to pass me by knowing that I could have done other things than blather. I need to maintain some control and discipline. I have very little willpower. 040125

witchesrequiem As a chlid you can't wait to grow up you think no rules. Just freedom.

Sometimes I think I would rather be grounded to my room then have responsibility like bills and food and taxes.

Kids have it all now, their rooms full of electronic fun..grounded what a joke, they don't leave the room any way. You spank them you get sued. Take away dinner you get sued, besides that they have candy stores ubder there bed.

They already have the freedom. Free education, dating whom ever they like, food prepared for them, no biological clock.... They are told they can be anything they want. Then they step out that cushy teen year and are told they are dumb and worthless and can't do what they want. More what the rest of the world would have you do... go to college or go to work. Settle down, don't date around. Go through cars, paying one off just for it to brake down and start over again. And lets not forget if your 50 your parents still breath down your neck. Alright I could blather on this all night, but I don't feel better.
