She would be proud that I have remained kind, caring and compassionate considering the childhood I had. She would be glad that I have an open mind and an open heart. She would be upset that I let fear and lack of self confidence stop me from seeking a higher education. She would not be happy that I have no real talent- she would have liked me to be a musician or dancer. You have many talents  Thank you
Just being honest... | |

shanti0608 said: karmatornado said: Wow what an honest, reflective response. I think that the kid would have been proud that you have great wisdom! Now get that education!  well life experiences have taught me wisdom I suppose. I would like to go to school for something but I have no real talent or passion really. I also have a HUGE fear of math. School was a major fear of mine growing up- now I feel too old to go back. Oh have no fear! Just study something your interested in. Odds are you will only have to take 2 math classes, 3 at the most and they have campus tutors for that. Plus your not too old. I had people in classes of mine that were in there late 40's, and when I did grad school their was only only one person under 40 besides me! So don't have fear! They also have evening accelerated programs that take 2 to 3 years to get your B.A. that are 2 days a week and cater to working adults! Its an option!

Just being honest... Well youneed to see the talents you have. Talent is not always what media in general says it is. Look at your list...you showed where your talents lay. You are kind,empathetic,loving,generous,selfless,giving and balanced. Those talents are far more useful to society that dancing....anyway i have seen you shake your butt...you can move  | |

He would think i am on course with my business goals and be proud of my achievements so far. He would ask me why i am not better at my fitness regime He would generally be happy with who i am but would be harsh about where i have let myself down. I have fucked up and he would chew my ass for the areas i have done that. He would tell me i need to try and slow down | |

When my date kinda broke up with me, it took me 2 days to get a new date for the movie I planned on going to. He's like: "hello, what? you don't want to see me anymore? oh wait, someone's on the other line. hey you, you wanna go out tomorrow? cool!" | |

Once, during a nature walk, I met a female sasquatch, and we hit it off immediately. It didn't last long, though. Guess I didn't really stand a chance with a women who was used to guys with "big feet". | |

Oh I'm sure you have some things to brag about! Humbleness is a grand quality, but sometimes its okay to b proud! Glad about the weathered storms however! I have quite a few things I can brag about, I just don’t…personally speaking, my humility keeps me grounded in the sense that it keeps me far away from being arrogant. I mention and talk about them to a point to some and those closest to me but other than that, no. Don't get me wrong, I'm very proud of the few things I've accomplished and done, my self confidence and pride in my achievements abound. But the things I've done are no bigger or greater than what others have done, it's not like I've found the cure to something or invented anything. Which is why I say my childhood self would say, I've done alright. yes, I've weathered the storms in my life but I’ve done so at a price...in many ways I'm having to start all over but hey, who hasn’t | |
