Comments on: Remember Where You Came From http://cattails.me/2008/06/remember-where-you-came-from/ the crazy stops here... every fifteen minutes Mon, 14 May 2012 16:06:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Kel http://cattails.me/2008/06/remember-where-you-came-from/#comment-773 Kel Wed, 11 Jun 2008 12:42:09 +0000 http://verybadcat.wordpress.com/?p=260#comment-773 I think the last paragraph says it best "Because I’m beginning to realize that figuring out who I am is not nearly as important as figuring out who I want to be, and how to get there. I can’t move forward if I’m always looking over my shoulder, but sometimes I have to in order to make sense of where I’m going." Who we were is not nearly as important as who we want to be...isn't that what we all secretly want, to be more, to be better, to be anything other than the bad that we think we were? Great post! ~K I think the last paragraph says it best “Because I’m beginning to realize that figuring out who I am is not nearly as important as figuring out who I want to be, and how to get there.

I can so relate to what you say here, I have been there and on bad days I can go back there. I wish I could tell you how I magically one day just woke up with thicker skin but the process took years of hurt feeling over real or imagined slights. Fighting back tears at the office because it's so unprofessional to cry during your performance review don't ya know. I'm turning 38 this week and there are days I still feel like a lost child. Good luck! Self awareness is only one of the many steps, conscious choices to change - fake it until you feel it, etc. are part of the process. Some days you will fake it and other days you will really feel like the grown up capable woman that you are. You’re on the right track.

This is really, really great. Like you, I found this idea to be pretty earth-shattering. I thought that being a fighter was something to be proud of, something to hold on to. It was a huge wake-up call to think about it in a different way. This is exactly the kind of introspection and reflection that will take us to the next level. I truly believe that we're on the right track. You seriously rock! Wow!
