"The way I feel when I'm in his arms."

Here are the things I'm currently struggling with:

1. Not everyone is going to like me.
2. I must stand up for what I believe to earn people's respect and to be truly happy.
3. I must stop seeing myself as a bitch and calling myself this whenever I'm triggered into feeling that I'm a "bad person".
4. I can't control how people treat me or what they say. I can only change how I react to these things.
5. I need to set boundaries and come up with prepared things to say when I get cornered into a situation that I know is going to trigger me to lose my self-control.
6. I must think of myself if I want to continue growing as I know I have in my past months living on my own.
7. As much as I want my ex to be able to keep the house, I believe I should do the work to put it on the market since it wouldn't be in my best interest to give away rights and still be under legal obligation to pay it if he ever were to fault for any reason.
8. Just because people disagree with me, or even get mad at me, it doesn't mean they don't love me.
9. If I want to avoid these confrontations, it's in my best interest to learn to screen how much I share with certain people in my life.
10. I must find away to wrap my head around the fact that this doesn't mean I have to compromise my definition of what love is.

Great insight into yourself. Good for you for being so intuned with yourself and the things you are working on!Sounds like a list I might make

I can see you put alot of thought into this list.It's awesome and something we all need to read and try to live by.

A great list to work on and with...and you were being honest when you put the list together. Good for you! There are a few things on that list that I struggle with and continue to have to work on, but that doesn't make me a bad person, does it? Would you call me a ##### or a total loser if I have a problem with one of those things but keep trying and am making progress? Then, you really shouldn't do it to yourself, either. Sometimes you have to know yourself and see yourself, but it doesn't hurt to look at yourself through other's eyes, too. (Even bad eyes are ok sometimes, because then you can determine THEIR problem...and see it isn't you.)
