(sigh) I believe we all have a point in our lives where we want something so very much, and it feels as though we're being selfish. (sigh) We all can get selfish over so many things, but I believe in love, joy, and faith, you can never be selfish! (smiles) Your beautiful heart shines with wisdom, sweet Mon, we all love you so very much! (kiss on cheek) BRAVO!!! You have sucha  beautiful heart, sweet Mon, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Oh dear, I think you've crept into my mindset of the last few weeks. Nice to know someone else is feeling the same pull.

Hypnosis:  Randy, I think it's okie to just pamper yourself once in a while...   Go get whatever you want and make yourself feel good for a change.  

Mistletoe Angel: Thanks Noah! I think so too. There are just some things that we just need to do for ourselves, to get for ourselves.   hehe... You think I can never be selfish?   You never know... haha...

Nature Girl: It's okie. All of us go through that heheh   I was in a reflective mood, wondering if I'm selfish. I mean, I'm not sure if I AM selfish, but I think I am...

Thank you, Sven.  

It is the shortest poem that I've written. And I was just reflecting on my attitude in life lately. I used to be more understanding and considerate, but recently, I've changed. I think that's me I'm describing.

hmm, interesting and thought-provoking...perhaps you are not being selfish but rather are gaining the courage to finally be yourself..

when we were younger, we might have put on a "selfless" mask because we wanted to be well liked...then we grow and realise that we should assert ourselves more because well, we can't please everyone, can we?

Irish Rose: Yupz, I will. In fact, I think we all should. If we don't fight for ourselves, who would?

Faterider: Nah, I think it's not as simple as your 'mask theory'. I might be self-critical, but of late, I seem to be including my own experiences in almost any conversation I'm having (even when my friends are actually talking about themselves) Like I'm forcing myself on others, what guilt!
