Reply To: How can I know?

Okay- wow. It’s so nice to hear such insightful thoughts from intelligent and considerate people. (Lior- that was for you too…)

Daniel Q- You’re right. Guess I’m sacrificing the moment for my big scale dreams, which means I might not achieve those either.

ivory- What does normal mean?

Randomex, my friend, I know people who are a little “off” too. I’m not talking about anything obvious (eye roll, ‘cuz my pride just got slightly dented). It’s something really subtle, something that’s taking me years (!!!) to put my finger on. None of my friends know what I’m talking about when I allude to any of this feeling like something is not quite right.

“This question doesn’t bother you enough to interfere with living your life, does it?” (sorry, I didn’t figure out how to use italics here)- Well, what do you call living? If you looked at my resume or observed my daily life or had to give shidduch info on me, then no. But if living means richly, being ALIVE in the fullest sense of the word, then yeh, boy does it.

Cozimjewish- “Honestly, I have never thought to think about such a thing.”- Can’t say I’m not jealous.

“I don’t feel the need to know if other people think I’m happy.”- It’s got nothing to do with what other people think.

Thanks Cinderella and yytz.
