Hey, I know what you mean about volunteer work. I'm with a local Kiwanis group that has a mission to help children. I'm also on some non-profit boards... lately it has been hard to get involved as much as I probably should.

Overall, I feel good about myself and like who I am. I'm not sure I can change as much as I probably need to if I want my W back. I'm not going to start being a party animal. I don't want a lot of friends. I have my close ones that I can go awhile without seeing and then when we do get together it is like we haven't been apart for more than a minute. I'd rather let my family (extended as well) be the focus of my life.

My W is all about everyone liking her. She needs the approval of complete strangers to feel good about herself. To me, that is sad.

Nothing I can do but accept the things I can't change.
