As I age gracefully, I’m learning things about myself. Things like:
I enjoy doing things MY WAY.
I have a hard time taking suggestions if I didn’t ask for them.
I really want to read books, but my lack of focus and attention skills get in the way.
I love having football on TV, but I don’t really watch-watch it.
I’m an above-average writer.
I like being inside unless the outdoors feels like the inside.
I want a house with real land and is near water.
I totally suck at managing money.
I like lists – writing lists and reading lists. (see: reading books above)
I’m a much better person when I go to bed at 11pm. I never get to bed before 12am.
I’m all about me. And really, why shouldn’t I be? I’m the most important person in my life. Without me, none of my life would exist. For me to be about me is really the most important thing in my life.
I’m also learning that everyone else is NOT all about me. You are about you.
But really, you should be about me, because in my life, I am.

Good for you! I wish I could be more about me and less about the laundry and the dishes.
this is precisely why the laundry & dishes are not done.
See..I think I’m doing it wrong. I am rarely about me
you’ll be much happier when you’re more self-centered.
who is me? I have always been here for others……feel empty not being needed…..
For a post that started off with no reason… it’s brilliant!!
LOVE this “Without me, none of my life would exist. For me to be about me is really the most important thing in my life.” It’s so logical, but so easy to forget
be all you can be. all about you.
Thanks for this post, even though you thought it was fluffnstuff.
I’ve been fighting guilty feelings because I’ve been pulling back from others and making it all about me. But dammit, you are right. It needs to be all about me. Hrmph.
find my deepness in my fluffnstuff.
I couldn’t agree more! I usually feel so guilty when I’m all about me, but I vow to shed the guilt and embrace it. After all, if I don’t love myself, I can’t expect anyone else to!
right.
on.
Uffda! Do you give lessons? <3
just tell everyone you’re Awesome.
So, according to Angie’s School of Awesome, if I tell others I’m awesome, eventually I’ll believe it, too? Cool!
P.S. That was a lot of commas, wasn’t it? Shit! I did it again. *sigh*
Wait now, if I say this stuff I get called stubborn. Maybe it’s because I am stubborn. Hmm, must think about that.
“I’m a much better person when I go to bed at 11pm. I never get to bed before 12am.”
Me too! My own worst enemy >_<
