You made an interesting point here - I feel like if guilt were a person, it would be ruling the whole world. We act so much out of guilt, in spite of our own needs, that it's no wonder why so many of us suffer from physical, mental and emotional disorders. We feel guilty for taking time to tend to ourselves! <br><br>I think I'm officially declaring war on guilt. :p <br><br>Thanks for taking the time to comment, Gustavo! @gustrafo

I always end up caring less about the whole thing anyways, at the end of the day, when my pressure levels reach the full line; so, why not caring less from the beginning?

It makes me sound like a selfish SB, though.

So funny–growing up throughout school, anytime my teacher used to say the word “actually,” I'd freak because I was usually passing a note to someone (they tell me that kids don't pass notes anymore, but that's pretty much ALL we did) and thought I was caught.  Turns out, they were just saying, “actually.”  Haha!

Good for you for starting your blog & being proactive–especially at your age.  You've got the entire world at your fingertips–take advantage!  Good for you, girl.  Keep on rockin' it.  :) Happy to connect.

1.  Hit and runs test my temper.  I'll admit.
2.  There are probably lots of people plotting my demise.  I'm okay with that as long as they don't make it past the plotting stage.  Ha.

I think it's because I write about topics because I've found myself thinking about them; turns out, we're all just human and I've been able to communicate some of the shared experience.
