What I don't need

Here are things that I do not require in order to be happy and have all that I want. I know, you didn't ask, but I was looking around and noticing things...

1. I do not need fame. I do not need a big audience.

2. I do not need you to "listen" to me. Or "follow" me. I would never say "FOLLOW ME!" I don't mind saying "Here, I'll go first!" but if you follow or not...that's just plain ole up to you. That's YOUR journey.

3. I really, truly do not need a man telling me things about women. ;)

4. I don't need people to retweet or repost anything, but see #1 and #2. :) And here you thought I wanted ATTENTION. Your attention is fine. I don't need theirs.

5. And even if I didn't have your attention, I'd still be okay. I only feel like I'm dying when I get ignored. If that were true, I've already died a thousand deaths and I'll keep dying. But I'm fine.

6. I don't HAVE to do ANYTHING. I can gather lots of material things around me if I want. I can eat nothing but chocolate if I wish. I can go running if I want. I can get a corporate job, or a service job, or make one up. I'm FREE. Totally and completely free.

7. There are people who seriously irritate me. I don't need to be around them. If sometimes I get stuck with them, I can put up my energy shield so they don't suck the life out of me.

8. I don't need to watch the news or fox or anything to know that a) there's a recession (it's a common theme), b) the housing market is in the tank and c) someone is unhappy with something our political leaders are doing.

9. I just don't need to take on anyone else's drama. This is probably the same as #7, but oh well. In fact, I believe that it's okay for me to end relationships that are far too draining and hard. Or at least say my piece, and if they choose to discontinue---win/win.

All done! Back to rearranging the living room again and getting rid of more crap. I'm going to rally to get rid of the entertainment center and TV in that room because we don't use it. Ever. YAY!

There. That's all.
