Thanks for replying. You understood me well.
People say I'm so patient and I've actually had several people say I'm like an angel. Which was really nice.
I suppose I am patient and caring towards other people but boy there is a big fat devil sitting on my shoulder.
I'm completely impatient with myself, I can definately hear the little voice shouting out to myself to sabotage my good intentions and plans for myself.
So, how do I sort this devil out then?
