Remember a couple weeks ago when I posted asking for a do-over?

I'm not alone:

If you're maybe noticing that you're older than you used to be, and are feeling sad / angry / confused / worried / frustrated that you haven't accomplished as much as you/other people in your present or past / annoyingly critical voices inside your head think you should have, and if you're maybe feeling something like "I'm not a real grownup like everyone else," and if you're maybe also feeling sad / angry / confused / worried / frustrated that your body isn't working the way it used to, and you're maybe thinking, "if that's true then how am I going to DO all those accomplishments that I / other people / voices in my head think I ought or want to do?", and maybe you're also wondering how are you going to dig out from under the accumulation of habit and procrastination and self-doubt to some sense of satisfaction in your life again, then post this same sentence in your journal.

Feeling that one a little too much this morning. I'm sure it'll pass, but slumps suck.

Oddly, I'm not really feeling it keenly today, but it is sort of a vague discontent that is somewhat constant.... Just a feeling that I've made some poor decisions and wasted a LOT of time in my life.

Ah, yes, that's me ;)

Why, this is a bit uncharacteristic. Considering my view of you, perhaps you are taking the self-retrospection a bit too seriously? :-) Or maybe things haven't been peachy as ya want them to be lately?

Odd though, I consider that, in many ways, you are much more grown-up than I and I don't have that feeling. Well, maybe the aches and pains are a tad more highlighted than 10 years ago part, but you will reach a time in your life where you won't give a crud about past choices and just live with what you have. Except, every third Thursday in August...those are the worst. ;) *Kidding about a specific day, but the "What have I done with my life moments really do get fewer and fewer. At least they have for me.*

Well, I don't particularly feel that way today, it's more of a general, back-of-the-mind discontent, as if I've missed a lot of opportunities by making poor decisions and wasting time. Overall, I'm doing okay, but compared to where I wanted to be by now? Way, way off the scale.
