If the path you walk down isn't bringing you joy, then turn around. Find one that will.
If it were that easy. Some of the paths (and there were many) did not bring me joy but later they turned out to be the right paths.
Please! Do you think there's anyone here who has not contemplated life's decision points? Personal reflection is how most of us got here.
I tried that and a butt load of other options, sometimes you don't get a happy life, I'm at peace with this.
@MsKathleen Sure, it's my fault that I'm only happy when I'm sad and alone.
@MsKathleen Something in my nature keeps me hurting over things that happened long ago with people that no longer live. Some of those emotions are 60 years old and there seems to be no recovery.
@MsKathleen I find it amusing that most people think we have control.
@Willow_Wisp I think that control is earned one minute at a time.
I've gotten extremely fat during the covid quarantine so I need to follow my own advice.
