  How wonderful and insightful is your friend. i try not to judge people and don't think I do but Angela has told me a few times I am being judgmental, when I see how I am, I try to explain differently.  You said you Quit School but you are happy and you have a plan. I think that is the whole Idea of a future....its what is your plan? And will it make you happy. Sometimes life gives us apples and some times life gives us worms, they are both good for us its just which one taste the best. (Not bad heh I just made that up!!) sometime i amaze myself and other times I will embarrass myself, I think we balance it out ourselves  for the best....most of the time. your a good Kiddo Queen!

  Hi ya queenie ~ yes, life is a series of choices.  sometimes we can make a bad choice, but we can always change it!  That is the joy called living life!  Most of my life choices I have made and some have just happened.  I am glad you are happy...that is the main thing!  :)

  yes Queenie, I do make choices on who I want to be and yes, I too have had those moments of doubt where I wonder if what someone else has judged was right...stop listening to them! You are on the right path, because you chose it. Simple like that! Keep on moving in the direction of your dreams...when you stop and reconsider, or feel bad, or in lack, or embarrassed...you are actually turning yourself away from your dreams and or spinning your wheels. Yes we all stop and wonder for a few minutes sometimes, but keep your goals in clear view and you will continue to make the best choices to get you where you want to be! have fun, relax and enjoy it! xo, Mamie

  I have chosen who and what I am today.  I might not always be happy with the choices, but at least they were mine.
  
  However, I know that people, namely certain family members, think I've thrown away my life, my education, etc, and sometimes I buy into that, too.  As much as I try, however, I still haven't gotten over the mixed messages I grew up hearing--You're smart and we expect you to amount to something  vs.  You're female and won't ever amount to anything.
  
  As for judging, we all do it, some of us more than others.  It's human nature to be judgmental.  A lot of people like to say they're not judgmental, and I call bullshit.

  You know whats good about making your own choices, its that you wont feel like you are living your life for others. That way you wont end up bitter with yourself for letting others control you and bitter with others for controlling you.

  The thing about not knowing the future is that we speculate in the present. We can only control so much... By making our own decisions we are taking control of our lives. Yes, some of those decisions may not sit very comfortably with us, but its better than sitting on the fence. Bottom line...they are OUR decisions, and as you said, not everything is set in stone, we have a right to change our minds also as we see fit.

  Am glad that your friend respected your decision...and did not judge you....friends like that are hard to come by. Sometimes we are our own worst judges.

  I do think you made the right choice for your self and if you want to later you can go back to school.  

• crybabylu said on Jan 06, 2008....

  We all must choose what is right for us.

  Hi queenie,
  
  aren't we too serious today. :)
  
  Here's my two cents:
  
  I am who I am today because I chose to stand up for what I want and I chose to follow my dreams despite of all the hardships that I had to endure.
  
  
  • I chose to be the smart one when my ex forced me to sleep with him when I was seventeen. If I given up on myself, I would have ended up sleeping with everybody at this point or worse, I could be a teenage mom with no job, no career, and a ruined reputation at that.
  • I chose to be happy even though my dad used to beat me up all the time and pressure me to be the best all the time.
    
  • I chose to stay here in the Philippines even though I've got offers in the middle east, and I think I am happier at this point.
  • I chose to be stronger even if my mom drives me so crazy LOL.
  and I could go on and on... so yes, I chose to live the life that I am living right now, the life of a yuppie who is workaholic yet funny. LOL.
  
  Cheers =)
