I just think living up to one's potential is overrated! LOL! Potential for what? Whose potential? You reach a goal.. then what? And they're a lot of people living up to their potential professionally who are just assholes!

Look at some of the wealthiest and most creative people: they lived up to their potential, but still aren't happy. Why is that exactly?

I just think.. times are tough.

Anyhoo...

Being an asshole has nothing to do with living up to your potential. A rich person can be an asshole the same as a poor one. I don't think Purplemookie is an asshole, so why shouldn't she try to achieve her best?

Hell, even if she was an asshole...I'd rather be a rich asshole than a poor one.

If you're depressed you should seek help. Seriously.

You don't want to get in too deep which will complicate you getting on your feet and being independent of your mom.

i don't think i could get any deeper...

well unless i was into crack and being a hooker?!

no insurance. gotta just suck it up

i tried that shit a few yrs back. talking to someone..antidepressants. didn't help me one bit. waste of my time and theirs. leave that shit to the ppl who cut themselves or wanna commit suicide...

Yeah but some of those people do that shit in the privacy of their own places. A lot of cutters and suicidal folk have jobs.

I read that WEN is a glorified conditioner. And those essential oils are strong, that's what makes your scalp tingle. They're irritating it.

But I'll tell you hhhwhat, I got a free sample of Klorane shampoo (when I bought the dry shampoo online) and that stuff, wow. It has the texture, feel and nearly smell of honey. It is the most luxurious shampoo I've ever used, and I almost felt like I needed no conditioner after. I did use some, because I think I'm over-highlighted right now, but that stuff is for real.

Now I am not saying go buy some PMB, pay your bills, but it's real good.

True, assholes abound. And to be clear I never said Purplemookie was an asshole. What I meant to suggest is there are a lot of unhappy people out there, and their unhappiness, frustration, and anger might lead them to be assholes. Or they might...just be assholes.

My point was more that many of us let other people define whatever our potential is supposed to be. To you, for example, being rich is important. To others it's not so important. You might have a different idea about what "success" is than I do, too. That doesn't make my idea of success any less relevant.

I don't know purplemookibut. If she does have a real problem with compulsive behavior, I wouldn't be the one to give advice because I'm not qualified to do so. If anyone has a problem that's interfering with his/her quality of life, I would suggest seeking professional help to deal with it.

But in general as for as "living up to one's potential," I think we have to also be sure it is "our" potential we are living up to--not someone else's idea of what success should "look" like. I just think we have to be careful about letting other people define us... and letting their expectations of us become our expectations.

I didn't mean to imply that you were calling her an asshole. Re-reading the post I see how it comes across like that. My bad.

oh i am an asshole. i'm a sarcastic asshole like house. the more pain i'm in the bitchier i get.

i'm like sammi sweetheart on jersey shore but i would ever let a guy walk all over he like ronnie did with her

haha merely cause she can be sweet or a bitch. ok wrong person to compare myself to then. i'm definitely like house though

Somewhere in all of this you said that you just want to get married and have babies. I take it that you want to marry a aman that can support you. This isn't a bad goal. However you may have noticed that most of the mothers on the org work. Most men that can well support a wife and a litter of kids work very long hours and are away from the house often. They need a wife that can do more then be her own childs nanny.

She has to run the household and help balance the finances.

Do homework and plan schedules for the family.

She drives the kids everywhere, does laundry and cooking too.

She is capable of entertaining at home and impressing his boss.

When she appears at his office parties and meets his staff and his higher ups she knows how to dress to impress. She may not be a knock out but she has an upbeat possitive energy and knows how to look cute.

Think about Prince: as funky as his style is think about how he dressed his wives and Bria. Next think about the style of Princess Dianna, Michelle Obama, and Kate the next British Princess. All these women worked a sexy yet slightly conservative style that type A personalities love. They also are able to meet and greet and impress folks with their social skills. They are contantly smiling and seem never down (Princess Dianna of course was depressed but she never looked it).

So it is doable. The question is do you really want to do what it takes to be a stay at home mom?

i babysat one summer and loved it. of course 8 hours with a 11 week old is way different then 24 hours and trying to sleep with a screaming rugrat

Who knows, it might be the ultimate wake up call. Grandma would act like she was the mother and that might cause a conflict of powers that be that is long over due. It also could be a multigenerational scary mess.
