In essence and substance, the very things I would be saying to someone else...
And, I get the Life Coach thing, I've been told that and thought about it myself .
I feel how you do about Shmedlap but I want to tell him "don't you see, you've been sucked into the Hollyweird vaccuum?" You know, it is just an element I don't want in my sphere...too bad. Then again, if I'm nice to him, maybe he can hook me up...
I get it. I really do. I am terrified of the "work." It is like leaping into the abyss and yes ultimately freeing myself from role as Shmedlap's alter-ego/sidekick will compel me to be me...just looks like a steep mountain and I'm sure I've gotten comfortable with this life...gonna have to wake up and work harder.
I'm thinking about joining a writing group...got some ideas brewing of my own. TBD in the alter.
