  I read a lot of Postings but comment on few.  You need some positive energy for your starving soul, darling. Try reading "The Secret". Your life will change for the better, I assure you.

  Hey, Perdygirl...  You just stick around, you will see that every one of us has doubts and fears and insecurities.  You certainly are not alone.  We all try to help each other.  You're more than welcome to visit my blog any time. :)

  We all have this feeling witch you are talking about in common. The thing is to start doing something positive. It does not have to be much but it will make a difference if you just go on. Don't think, no I can't do it. I am tied down. Just go ahead and find out what you want to start with.
  It is also very good to write and blog you will get to know your self even better and figure out things. Good luck.

  Do any of you ever feel like you're your own biggest set-back?
   
  Only once or twice an hour LOL. But I've never let that stop me!
   
  Don't let yourself get over-whelmed by all your perceived short-comings.  Just do one little thing to make you feel better about yourself and tomorrow find one more thing.
   
  I think the fact that you haven't felt pretty for a long time is a very good reason to name yourself Perdy....there see, thats one thing....

  perdy there are plenty of people who can relate to how you feel, we sometimes feel "unfullfilled" because we werent able to meet our expectations for ourselves... all i can say is as long as the sun rises there is hope to reach whatever your heart desires... dont lose hope, count your blessings... you will get there somehow...

• missb said on Jul 09, 2007....

  Hey Perdy,
  
  In some ways, i feel like i'm reading myself :) I'm not as young as you are anymore. I'm 28 (gosh, 29 in a couple of months)  "i'm so much older than i can take -- singing" and have contributed nothing significant to the world, my parents, or even to myself.
  
  I'm not married. I dun think i'm quite ready for that yet, but i've been in a relationship with my bf for about 4 years. Half of it was spent in a long distance relationship.
  
  Ah well, i could go on. But i'll stop. Anyway, hope you'll feel better soon and welcome again!
  
  Cheers :)

  Perdy, firstly welcome to SoulCast.  Here is a LINK to a post regarding getting the most out of SC.
   
  Secondly, I think you're going to fit right in here.  We all have certain hang-ups about our pasts and each person has made some mistakes.  I have found that here I can just be me, no matter what, and people accept me all the same ;-)

  Perdy....one of the best made (in my opinion) paint brush on the market !!  lol
  
  Nice to meet you.  There are some really nice people here, and some not so nice people. each with their own agenda's.  Polarheart is one of, no the nicest person I've met to date here in SC.  There are others that are nice, but then too, only you know your type of "nice" that you like or enjoy.
  
  Just have fun and...look around.  Have a great day.
  
  Cam.

  I dropped out of college too.  I had my reasons, but it still took me a long time to really come to terms with that decision.  It's never really an easy choice to make and it's so hard to stop beating yourself up about it afterwards.
  
  One of my favorite lines from the Chronicles of Narnia is when Aslan (the lion) tells Lucy (one of the children) that "no one is ever told what would have happened."  It took me a long time to really understand, in my heart and not just my head, that we only have the now, and that our future starts from where we are.
  
  I am in the middle of a journey from some very dark places into something better.  I don't really know how to help people on their own journey or even how to get them started.  But I do know that it's getting better for me, one day at a time, when once I thought it never would - so don't give up hope!  You don't have to merit greatness - we all deserve to be whatever it is that we want for ourselves.  Take some time to be with yourself and find your dreams again.  Ask yourself what it would take for you to make them happen, both practically and psychologically.  You can do it!  But you might have to make your own breaks.  Mistakes don't keep us from getting what we want in life; they just make it so we have to work a bit harder! 
  
  At your (our) age, it's normal to feel a bit empty and unsure.  We're not really done growing up yet (but then, are we ever?) but suddenly everyone around us expects us to act like adults and know what we want and know what to do.  Sometimes it feels like there is this big secret to society and nobody is going to let us in on it.  Or that we all wander around saying we're just fine, thanks, and really we're not, but nobody dares to talk about it.  You're certain you can't be the only one that feels like you do, but when nobody else will admit it, it sure feels like you are!
  
  Anyway, I don't feel that I have a lot of advice to offer and I don't want to seem trite either.  My hope was just to show you that I can understand what you're feeling somewhat, so that maybe knowing you're not the only one and that there are people who can sympathize and empathize with you will give you a little lift.  I'll be thinking of you :)

  Perdy ~ As one "older" I still at times feel the way you do.  I think sometimes we put too much pressure on ourselves.  We put higher expectations on ourselves than we would any one else.  Maybe you are where you are supposed to be at this time in your life.  What would you tell your best friend if she felt like you?

• Perdy said on Jul 09, 2007....

  Thank you all for your comments and for letting me know that I'm not alone. I'll do my very best to be open and completely honest with every one of you. As that's what I expect from you all.

  perdygirl- To a degree, we are our mistakes, the point is to not make them again.
  
  I dropped out of college too. You're twenty-one, plenty of time to make it happen. There's plenty of people here to help (or you help us).
  

• secretlife said on Jul 09, 2007....

  perdy:  life is a process of hopes and dreams and disappointments.  but if you don't try, you can only know the disappointments.
  i'm more than twice your age......and i know from experience that you have to keep changing your goals and taking steps towards your dreams.  you'll do this many many times in your lifetime.

• CamDaMan20 said on Jul 09, 2007....

  Secretlife, if I may add to your last words....
  
  you'll do this many many times in your lifetime and.....in ways you have even yet to imagine.
  
  Cam.

  I know it's a bit late for me to be adding my 2 cents worth (sorry) and who knows if you'll ever get to see this, but I just want to say please don't be too hard on yourself.... that's it....(wow).

• Perdy said on Jul 11, 2007....

  I see you Jade...Thanks for stopping by.
   
  And to all the rest, thanks for your kind words!
