One note - Issues

Issues

Nov. 2nd, 2005 at 12:37 PM

I know that everyone has issues, and that life is not a contest to see whose life is the most fucked up. (Although a lot of folks look at it that way.)

What better place than my journal to dissect some of these issues?

I will likely make occasional posts from now until the end of my time at livejournal that focus on what these issues are, and possible ways to improve them.

I welcome and appreciate advice and support in dealing with these issues.

My intent by posting about my personal demons is to further my own personal growth, and to help others understand me a little better. My intent is NOT to make people feel sorry for me; I’m not looking for sympathy. I am well aware that my "issues" are not unique, and that there are many people in this world who are much worse off than I am.

Issues

Put this in your bio. As time goes by this entry will be further and further from view. Your bio is always at the forefront.

I'll help and support you, hopefully in a non-judgmental way, when I can contribute something of value.

Re: Issues

That's a good idea, I think I'll add a link to this post on the bio page. :)

Thanks for your support, I appreciate it!

I had a freind who used to say, "Dude...you need to cancel your subscription to that magazine, because you have got WAY to many issues."

Just a funny story, not advice. :)

Issues? Oh ya, I've got a lifetime subscription!

Seriously though, we all have demons. If you post about any I have any insight on, I'll offer up what I know.

All very true. But expelling is what livejournal is all about. Sometimes you just have to get it all out. And Bravo for that!

your icon states that "Growth is inevitable" and that is very appropriate here. I would offer an alternative quotation, "the only thing that remains constant is change". I wish I knew where it originally came from but it is cited continuously in my job within technical support and I find it very appropriate for approaching 'issues' as well as life.

Oh yeah, I definitely think I could use that both at work and in my personal life!

If you get tired of your own issues, I can sell you some of my back issues at a reasonable cost.

I like your icon. While I loved Jem, I thought The Mis-fits were pretty bad ass! ;P

Re: I'm with ya, sista...

I associate with Jem b/c my name is pronounced Jemmy. Plus, I often think I'm truly outrageous. Ha! But, a healthy dose of devilishness is always good.

Re: I'm with ya, sista...

You ARE truly outrageous! Truly, truly, truly outrageous!

(Jem is your name, no one else is the same, Jem is your name! Jem!)

:D
